Right? I must have looked at this thing for 5 days straight before I bought it thinking the same thing. This does remind me to re-scan it; front and back. The back really adds some perspective on Pope's process for applying the layers. Very keen!

This is wonderful, and please do scan the back when you can. This is basically the same technique that was used in animation production for decades, before the industry moved to digital ink and paint: the animation drawing would be xeroxed with a machine that printed the drawing onto an acetate cel, then cel painters would paint the back of the cels, kind of like doing a coloring book, though the xerographic lines are on the front side so they can't be covered up by paint.

I've painted a few cels, and there are a couple of tricks. One, you have to do the dark colors first. If you start with light colors, and then get some darker paint on top of the lighter paint, it will change the tone of the light paint when photographed/scanned. The reverse is fine. Of course you have to let each color dry before moving on.

Second, you don't really 'paint' as in using brush strokes - you use a brush to 'puddle' the cel vinyl paint onto the area to be covered, then push the paint around so there's a nice, thick layer that looks smooth and even from the front.
