Kali, how do you use color??
So, in the past I’ve promised a writeup about my color process…which I still plan on posting when I get some more free time! Since I don’t have any teaching lined up yet, maybe I’ll post some instructables on here instead!

Anonymous asked: Hi Kali! I have a technical question that I thought an awesome illustrator with your expertise could answer. I am an illustrator as well and I usually work in RGB mode in Photoshop.

TAXES FOR FREELANCERS, 101
In the past, I’ve gotten some questions about the business of illustration & about how taxes work. Filing taxes is a bummer, but it sucks even more when you have no idea what you’re doing.

justinrripley asked: I love the pieces you've made using informal subdivision! I was just wondering, is there any incorrect way to divide your page?

Or is it totally random? Thanks!

meniodd asked: Hi, I got to say that i love your work! :-) and your process shots as well. I've seen that you always star with a black & white sketch, it seems it is very important to you. What's its function and what do you do with that sketch once you got it?
