Hi-Fi Color for Comics, written by my friends and collaborators Brian and Kristy Miller, is now available for pre-order right here.

Here's the description for this new book -

"This exciting and complete instructional package starts with the basics and progresses through step-by-step demos that take readers from line art to full, awe-inspiring color. Readers will get instruction on equipment, scanning, setting up pages, color theory, flatting, rendering, special effects, color holds, color separations, and even details on the business of becoming a professional colorist. The CD-ROM includes Photoshop tools and actions that artists can use to streamline their coloring work, plus sample Photoshop files so that readers can work along with the demonstrations."

It's 160 pages and suggested retail price is $24.99... pre-order from Action is my Reward.com and save a bundle at only $16.49.
