Color Guides

This is the description provided to me by Tom Smith, a professional colorist: Color Guides are the actual hand painted coloring done for the comic or cover by the colorist of the comic. It is only one of a kind and really used in the process of coloring the cover or page of the comic... Note: This is not the original B&W art painted but the fully painted XEROX color guide art used in the process of coloring the page/cover. A full description of what color guide art is..... Color guides are used in the process in which comics are colored. The original black & white art is copied and then the copy "color guide" is then painted with dyes, markers, and sometimes watercolor by the colorist and used as a guide /rough idea of what the final computer colored file / page or cover will look like. It is on 9 "by 11" XEROX paper and is only one of a kind original color art and really used in the process of coloring the cover or page of the comic.
