-The thick black outline should nor exactly match the line art-Clean up the black layer according to the actual line art-Vary thick and thin lines according to exposure-Slightly highlight the edges
-Use the magic wand tool yet again-Reduce the selection by 2 pxl-Revert selection-Create a new layer under the colored layer-Fill the layer with black
-Select line art with the magic wand tool(just click into the character)-Extend the selection by 1 pxl-Revert selection-Create a new layer and fi ll it with the cap color from the color palette-Clean up any color bleeding over the actual line art
Lines:-Line emphasis, not overly straight, always a bit ‘crooked’ instead, vary thick and thin lines
-keep in might where light is falling, i.e. thicker lower side lines (the Deponia Brush comes in handy here)
-fi nished black line art on a transparent layer
Step by Step
Workbook Page 7
-Lock the line art layer and use the line art’s value to paint over the line art ( see next page)-Color the lowest black layer in the same way-Leave only the bottom side of the hair black (see next page)-Apply a black shadow on the fl oor. Set layer to 50% opacity
-Set all shading layers to multiply
-Set the light layer to ‘overlay’ and 50% opacity
Block Shading:
-Light falls from above, causing shadows on all lower sides of objectsPlaces where light hardly falls, like insides of legs or clothing are covered in shadow.
-Apply shadow in a single layer as a clipping mask above the colored layer-Apply light only on the hair and in a new layer. Use The eye color from the color palette
-Add color, step by step selecting areas on the line art layer and fi ll them with corresponding colors-Add fi nal touches with the brush tool, especially the small areas the magic wand missed

One thumb and three fi ngers (though not clearly visible from this perspective)
Space between the eyes is slightly more than one eye
Slightly irregular forms (except for the eyes), no really round or rectan-gular forms
-Eyes look pretty circular-The more the character is rotated, the more oval the eyes appear-Accordingly, one eyes seems more narrow-From a side view, the round part becomes almost copped

The torso is slightly bean-shaped
The tip of the nose sits between pupils and chin
Pupils/eye line located slightly beneath the numerical center of the head, just a bit beneath the eyes’ center
Lines:-Line emphasis, not overly straight, always a bit ‘crooked’ instead, vary thick and thin lines-keep in mind where light is falling, i.e. thicker lower side lines (the Deponia Brush comes in handy here)
Shadows:-Light falls from above, causing shadows on all lower sides of objectsPlaces where light hardly falls, like insides of legs or clothing are covered in shadow
