I finally finished my comic the other day, it was relatively easy.
working with gouache made it easy to transfer across to photoshop and by using levels it was quite easy to make it neat and presentable.
I did struggle at first with getting the format right, the first print the pages were in the wrong place (with the first page being the last page and so on). This was rectified by just drawing on the printed draft which illustration I wanted where and then unfolding it to see where it should be in relation to what I was seeing on screen.
It worked really well as a publication, I ended up making the cover myself rather than going to digital print. This was because I looked at some other illustrators who sell their works and it's often nice to have a personal touch. For me I used stamps to print the name and on the back described what it was, it added something more to each copy made.
I bound it with red thread but chose to use blue stamp ink because I wanted it to stand out (and also to coincide with the posters use of blue).
