Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! It was my first attempt to create something like this & it went
very smooth (except, to be honest, the drawing with the pen, but that’s lack of skill on my
account !). You can see the result here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jinterwas/4934797072/.

Lim says:
May 27, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Hi,
Reducing saturation is an easy way to coordinate elements between them but the result is
always the same ; gothy/moody and colors are unnatural. It’s more professional and difficult to adjust one
element to the background than polish the entire picture with grey levels. Colors were better on the original
stock. Black is too intense. A softy touch would have been more magical.
Thanks.
