Illustration Process Guide for "Spooky Stories"

Thanks Heather! It changes based on the needs of the image, but in general the progression looks like Multiply into color dodge into screen into soft light and then finally color and *maybe* some hard light. (hard light can be too hot sometimes) After that it's just normal layers for tightening everything up. In the above process frame 4 is multiply and some color dodge, frame 5 is color dodge and a little soft light, frame 6 is screen and then the rest are detailing in normal with a touch of hard light to punch up certain color areas (like the book and the eyes).

This looks amazing! I love to see how you color your traditional drawings, what layer modes are each color phase?
