The next step is to create a layer of flat color. Ghouls are, apparently, usually greenish or grayish. They have a lot of variation in color though so I don’t use the same color on more than two figures.

I’m sure you’ll explain it, but this step looks almost like a retrograde one in as much as what was detailed now seems as though its subdued. Why is this?
That’s the trouble with writing these posts when I’m still waking up, details slip my mind. I work with multiple layers in Photoshop both for richness of texture and so I have more control of the changes I make to the image. But when I’m adding color or texture I can’t work with all the layers visible – it’s too easy to mess up details. The image posted today is one layer of the base illustration plus the flat color layer.
