Scan & flat color

1. I draw and scan the image.


2.In Photoshop, I rotate, copy and then paste the entire image back into itself. I put lighting effect (a light-brownish) to achieve the mood I want, which is sad and gloomy, and also 19th century feel to it (because this song lyrics is like a classic storybook).

3. I create new layer and the layer mode to multiply.


4. I flat color first to see how the character will look like. I start with the Laugh Maker. 

brush(multiply, soft light, screen) swatch(i choose pastel colors) burn, smudge, blur, the result: 

4. the eye's and skin are a bit smudgy, but I dont care too much on details.
