Just wanted to chime in and say I'm a huge fan and thanks for being so diligent with this blog! Also for those markers you are talking about, I have only known about non-photo blue pencils, where would you suggest to get the markers? Thanks again!
Thanks also from me Sean for posting your work in progress. As I said several time I'm checking daily this blog with both a fan and a student approach, I got a lots of several good advices /process I'm trying to apply to my comic work.
Thanks really a lot and I hope to do not bother you a lot with some question I'm going to ask you from time to time
Sean, What's the process for removing the blue after you've scanned in?
I tend to print out light blue then scan in greyscale on a setting that doesn't pick up the blue. Just thinking though that you might get sharper lines if you scan in in colour then remove the blueline.
Welcome to my blog. You've probably gotten here from my website www.seanphillips.co.uk. I plan on this place being a companion piece to there, hopefully updated more often.
Every working day I'll post an example of what I've been working on that day. a favourite panel or cover or sometimes a whole page of comics.

Sean, thanks for posting a straight rough. Its useful to understand your process. How do you erase the blue marker in the final piece?
The markers aren't light-fast, so they'll eventually fade from the artwork. For printing I just drop them out in Photoshop.

I scan greyscale and use levels to drop out the pencils.
I use Pantone colour markers and buy them by the dozen online.
