Header image for Step 10 Colors

Creators, you are creating! This long challenge is nearly at the end. Tired? Exhilerated? I know I am.

In this next step, we’ll be adding color, which will add another level of artistry and depth to your comic book pages. Not all comics will need color, but it is part of this particular 8-page challenge.

In the Step 1, we reviewed how to plan a story idea for an 8-Page Story. In Step 2, we looked at how to break down your pages and plot. In Step 3, we worked on revisions to the plot. In Step 4, we created character sheets. In Step 5, we scripted our comic book story. In Step 6 we built our thumbnails. In Step 7, we drew page roughs. In Step 8, we penciled real comic pages. In Step 9, we inked the pages.

Now, in Step 10: Coloring, you will add colors to your pages. It’s almost magical.

Post your colored comic book pages in the Step 10 folder in the Create@ComicBookSchool forums.

Chris Sotomayor Colors from Avengers Assemble

We’ve been working from a script that I (Buddy Scalera) wrote for Marvel’s Avengers Assemble comic. Ron Lim penciled and inked the pages.

These brilliant colored pages are by Chris Sotomayor. You can learn more about Chris on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. He also teaches coloring at ComicsExperience.com.

Ready, Set, Color!
