Color Tests and Pages

Lamont Studies This was a color test that applied color to the ink & toned page. While it has an interesting look, the toned vehicles seemed to be a apart from the background, like the vehicles had been pasted onto a background.


Here is a different color treatment on the same pencil drawing. Color makes a difference, doesn’t it!


It’s interesting to see how much a difference color makes. On the right, the toned and inked page you can find in the Preview Issue #0.

This time, the toned and inked page from the Preview Issue #0, is on the left.

This is the casino scene in Three Palms from Issue 2
