Next month I'm excited to be attending the Indiana SCBWI conference. I'm now working on completing 2-3 page picture book page spreads for the Illustrator's Intensive with Kerry Martin. This tiny robot toy is a small part of one of my pages. He's only 1 inch tall in my final sketch. Since he worked for the IF topic, I threw some quick colors on him which may change after I figure out the rest of the page. Since I scanned in at 720dpi to enlarge him here I left my sketch lines more au natural instead of going through my usual Photoshop Photocopy step, which seemed too heavy for this little guy. I'm liking the softer sketch lines, and may try this for the full pages.

What's the usual "photocy step"?
Very sweet!
Love it, a lot!

This guy is great.What IS your "photocopy" step?
Thanks all!
For the photocopy linework step:
After scanning in my pencil sketch, I use Levels to set the white point & increase Brightness/Contrast to further clean up the sketch until it almost starts to disappear. Then go to Filter > Sketch > Photocopy.
Cool little dude! I think the sketchy lines really work, too. Enjoy the conference! SCBWI is a great organization.
He's so handsome!
