An interview with Matthew Wilson covering how he stumbled into being a comic book colorist and found joy in coloring, inspired by nature and managing self-doubt and burnout.

Matthew adjusts lighting and colors on comic panels to define forms, guide attention, and enhance contrasts using gradients and careful color choices.

After flatting a page, Matthew uses masks in the channels palette to separate areas, set palettes, and consider light sources to make the image dynamic.

When flatting comic pages, work with intention by planning ahead, focusing on big decisions first, and using tools efficiently to save time.

Use contrasts in hue, value, and saturation to guide the reader's eye, define space and mood, and enhance the story.

Using the provided reference images, create a digital painting that showcases your understanding of light and shadow by painting light from different angles. Experiment with sunlight from left and right, soft light, depth, and atmosphere. Study how photos, illustrations, and films use color and fog, then apply that to your images.

In this lesson, Jeremy Vickery teaches us how to apply what we've learned about composition into a painting.

Matthew Wilson breaks down hue, saturation, and value to solve color issues in comics. Use schemes like monochromatic, complementary, and triadic for dynamic, harmonious pages.
