Instructor's Courses

Hi! I have been working professionally as a comic book colorist since 2011 and teaching digital coloring online on YouTube since 2013. I learned about coloring the hard way early on, and I do my best to make sure that no one else has to take the same route I did! I'm still always learning new things and try to bring you guys along with me. As of 2020, I've colored over a hundred books for publishers such as DC, Image, Vault, Dynamite, Chaos, Top Cow, IDW, Oni, and many others.
