A page from Project Waldo. The color feels a little timid to me right now -- I think I'll have to come back to this one.

All of the pages for Project Waldo are drawn directly in Photoshop CS3 using a Cintiq tablet monitor. For line work I use default brush settings at 100% hardness (4-pixel width for thin lines, 7-pixel width for outlines).

For coloring, I use the popular Multifill and Flatten plugins ([link]) to build selectable areas of color, and then I add new layers of color at different blend modes and opacities (this is a pretty random, haphazard, and slow process).

It usually takes me about a week to get a single page finished. Part of my reason for attempting this project is to learn ways to speed up my workflow.

Project Waldo will be released in 24-page installments beginning in 2010. For more information, and to sign up on a mailing list to be notified when the first issue comes out, visit the Project Waldo development blog: [link].

Dude this is awesome, but I think what you might think of as timid is perhaps a lack of values. In other words everything is really pastel like. One way you could check this is to copy the color layer or channel if you use channels and paste them into a new channel which will then be black and white.

Having said all of that I was blown away by this. Its a huge step up from your last comic.

Man, I need to step my game up!

Awesome! (I used this word ten years ago for the last time.)

Don't change the colors. The colors are so unique and different from anything I have seen before, I would cry, if you changed this into a more mainstream look.

This is an inspiration for me to work harder on my own art.

Beautiful. Loved the color scheme as well as the drawing itself.

Very impressive! :clap:

I only wish the pages were linked betwen themselves, that would make it easier to read the story.
