    The digital colour sketch in the draft for a discussion
    with the art director about colour scheme and atmosphere:
  • Light and shadows are done first in greyscale (left), then as rough colouring (right) with a Gamut mask colour scheme.
    (Gamut masking is a concept developed by James Gurney. The tool I use was developed by Richard Robinson.)
  • Adjustments and variations of the colour scheme are made with Photoshop, using Color Lookup and Hue/Saturation.
