Kurt Michael Russell - comic book colorist, digital artist, and art instructor

► http://www.coloringcomics.com I was tasked with coloring this promo image for Pensacon 2016! The line artist is Jason Craig. This was a big departure from my usual style. I actually painted it first (and only used the flats to clean it up). I learned a lot along the way. Enjoy!
