Continuing colour work for the first page of our illustrated post apocalyptic Canadian short story. Working on the soft shading.

Here’s how Elliot’s face is coming along. I wonder if I should push the warm/cool contrast a bit more here. I’m considering also giving the shading harder edges… We’ll see. I’ll try a few more things and see how my lovely partner, the fine gentleman who drew the line art, reacts. 

Here are his shorts. They’re from a different panel. I’m playing with a bit of cool light reflecting up off of the water. Not sure if I’ve got it yet. Still, it’s good to experiment.

As always, I appreciate any advice or insight.
