If there were two people I'd like to sit next to and simply watch them colour stuff it'd be Steve Firchow and Peter Steigerwald...
But since I can't do that, all I can do is try to emmulate them through colour studies such as with this one, which is unashamedly a copy (as best I can do) of the original colours to Batman 700 by Peter S. The way he got the texture/feel of the cape was just awesome...mine of course is not... Plus this has got to be a serious benchmark drawing/cover for Batman IMO... David Finch just aced it.
anyway...
pencils by David Finch
Inks by Jeffrey Huet
I put the inks by Jeff up against the original inks by Scott Williams and couldn't fault them.. plus Jeff sent me his high res file which was lovely of him.
cheers
