First post here.
So I was thinking about promoting this webcomic and thought about drawing a banner to use on sites and at the top of the page probably. Then I thought about my eventual publishing model and how I prefer manga style books with color covers and 200 or so pages of black and white interiors.
So banner and book covers means color to me, which I've stayed away from, but it does sell better. Now I'm doing this all old school and on a laptop so computer coloring would be super tedious with my trackpad so -- no.
So I'm going old school coloring. I tried out some watercolor pencils my wife had and then a very simple water color set. I preferred the watercolor paint to the pencils. And there are always the colored inks like Dr Ph Martin's but they're pricey. More investigation is needed but I think a decent watercolor set is likely in my future.
