Hi Friends,

Here’s an extra! It’s a little video about the colouring process for Spirit-Girl #4. All previous issues were uncoloured. In this video I discuss why I decided to learn colouring, the creative decisions behind the making of the colour palette, why it was inspired by medieval paintings and a run down of the whole process.

Stay tuned, Spirit-Girl #4 will be available soon!
