The raw scanned in page. Honestly I was getting quite impatient on Julie and had trouble with her leg but honestly it came out fiiiiine. I considered just snapping a picture then lining everything on my ipad instead, but you know what? no. I have a score to settle with god and that is to prove I can colour, shade and render everything with a mouse instead.

Editing the whole picture to make it actually usable. Contrast + brightness + levels adjustment. I ADORE CSP's function of 'convert brightness to transparency'. It completely gets rid of the white background and gives me a transparent linework of this. Normally with traditional images like this youd have to make new layers on top of the linework all set to 'multiply'. I didn't really want to deal with the artifacts of that though, and it would slightly tint the linework too. So I opted for this method for the first time with a trad base.
