More like I’m the stranger, right? This is all I’ve drawn this week, and I hated it, which is why you can’t see it. Nyeah. No excuses, just have to get back on track.

To shed some light on how I colorize old photos, I made a quick video to explain how I handle skin tones. Unfortunately, it won’t be of much use to someone who’s never opened Photoshop, but it should be useful for any regular Photoshop users who need to be pointed in the right direction. For all I know there are better methods, but this is my current go-to. As for the colors besides skin tones, it’s usually just a matter of guesswork and experimenting with blending modes.

Just in case you’re wondering what I’m up to besides sketching: I’ve been teaching myself Final Cut Pro X, because our editing department will be switching to it this Summer. To get up to speed quickly, I’m piecing together the footage from my 2011 trip to Hong Kong. First thing to hit the cutting room floor: my awkward on-camera appearances!
