Learn 2 Color Comic Books- An Online Resource For Comic Book Coloring

[CharlieKirchoff]

Hi all,

My name is Charlie Kirchoff. I've worked as a professional comic book colorist since 2003. Since 2015 I've been building an online resource to help people learn how to digitally color comic books called Learn 2 Color Comic Books. I have a YouTube Channel where I post videos of tips, tricks and techniques. For those who are looking for something more comprehensive, I also offer a few online video courses as well. You can find all of these things at learn2color.com.

I started this thread to help get the word out about Learn 2 Color Comic Books and I'll be posting videos and other related content here from time to time.

If you're someone who is looking to learn more about coloring, please feel free to post here and let me know what it is you're currently struggling with. I'm always looking for new ideas for future videos or blog posts.

Thank you all for checking out this thread and I hope you find it helpful and informative.

To get the ball rolling, here's a video about a basic rendering process:
