    I start laying shadows with multiply and start working some of the lighting in the background. I tend to go opposite on my shadow tones to make it more dynamic, meaning if I have warm basic tones I like cold tones for the shadows.

    Then I start laying some of the lights on the characters by adding a layer on top of my shadow tones and base tones.

    As a final stage I tend to go over the whole image and clean up any missing lines from the original drawing, do some color corrections and add a couple effects.

    awesome! You're work is great! I've seen your name in a lot of X-Men books. If I'm not mistaken you mainly work on "X-Men" covers only? I follow you for sure! ;)

    Impressive art. I think I have seen this style on some of the X-Force covers, and they were awesome too :-).
