Cheerleader Colorized

Here's what the cheerleader illustration looks like after it's been penciled, polished, inked, and now "colorized." The penciling and inking are done by hand ("old school.") The next step is to scan the inked illustration so that color can be added in Photoshop (a computer, software program.) Even this process is very hands-on. The computer is only a tool. It doesn't actually DO the coloring for you (I wish...) To see what this bubbly, little cheerleader looks like in the context of the final illustration, check out the post below.
