Decided to finish yesterday's sketch on the iPad. First, I inked the drawing. Then I did a greyscale watercolor painting, initially planning to leave it like that. Then I decided to add a quick multiply layer with some color and got the final. I haven't used this approach in a long while and I'd forgotten how much I liked it. Just a little fun during an otherwise very busy day.

This makes me wonder if black and white magazine style comics could ever come back. In the 70s there were a ton of titles and I always liked the black and white, especially since colour in comics was so awful back then.
Oh, I know the ones you mean, like Savage Sword of Conan or the horror ones. Don't think so. People seem to like color. I don't remember the black and whites selling well even when they came out, sad to say. There was a lot of dimension in those black and whites.
Exactly those. I read recently they had a very short period of popularity but when those comics came out in colour they were abandoned. I liked the larger format too. In Boston until tomorrow. I almost finished a new drawing so that was productive.
