About this episode
The hosts discuss the history and evolution of comic book colouring, sharing their favorite colourists and experiences.
We love colours in our comics! There’s so very much that you can do with colours, and it’s wild, but we pretty much never talk about it! This week, we do our best ot fix that. So get ready for a brief history of comic book colouring (from newsprint to NOWsprint? Is that anything?), and the various growing pains that we had to live through in the ’90s, and the advent of digital colouring. Then, once that’s over, get ready for the three of us gushing over our favourite colourists, as well as lamenting our… well, we’re learning. We’re getting better at it, as artists! But it’s 90% gushing, 10% lamentation. Direct Download: MP3
