Flats are first, then shading and highlights on top of the flats all coloring goes under the line art

I normally start with the backgrounds, since this takes me the longest and sets up the lighting for the figures in the panel

I have a color palette for the characters and background, but with this page I just colored all the garbage as I went. It's not to scary because if you paint something a color that you don't like or doesn't work, you can always change it by using adjustments to the Hue, Saturation, and Brightness

Striped Bandits Episode 17 | Page 33 and 34 I always had trouble drawing large piles of trash or debris, good thing I wrote it into my story. #Raccoons #GraphicNovel #Webcomic

A comic panel from Striped Bandits showing three shocked raccoon characters standing in a dense forest amid a large pile of scattered trash and smoking debris: Left: A wide-eyed raccoon sits near the trash pile, asking in a small speech bubble, "WHAT..."Center: A tall raccoon with wide, startled eyes stands in disbelief, saying, "JUST..."Right: A raccoon wearing a pink hair bow looks around in confusion, completing the sentence with a large speech bubble reading, "HAPPENED?"

Tickle Tickle | Post 5 Working through some expression sketches for this guy. Don't worry Pickles, things will get better. It's already Friday.😉 #art #sketchbook #illustration #characterdesign #coloredpencil #traditionalart

A colored pencil character expression sheet on a warm, beige-toned background featuring three sketches of a plush-like green elephant with soft pink inner ears. The top-left sketch shows the elephant looking shyly over its shoulder; the top-right shows it from behind looking down with a thoughtful pose; and the larger bottom sketch shows it holding its trunk close with arms crossed in a quiet, pensive expression.

Tickle Tickle | Post 4 A little moment from the sketchbook today ✏️✨There’s something so sweet about the quiet bond between a child and their favorite plush friend. What was your absolute favorite stuffed animal or toy growing up? 🐘💚 #picturebook #kidlitart #coloredpencil

A colored pencil illustration on warm, light-beige paper depicting a young child with short brown hair interacting lovingly with a large, soft green plush elephant. The child wears a pink star-patterned shirt and purple shorts as they lean over the plush elephant, resting their hand
