yes like do you use a program or colored pencils?I do a little bit of everything - mixed media, acrylic, watercolour, gouache, Photoshop... you name it, really.

If you're specifically talkin' about comics, Photoshop is the usual method. It's not uncommon to mix those techniques, however.

so is there a book on how to apply those to comic art

before dropping money on a book, you might want to browse this website:

or do a google search for: coloring comics step-by-step

I use a graphics program from Deneba called Canvas.

I scan in my work, and then use layers to add color. I've recently begun to use Canvas for my line art as well, since I struggle with striking a clean line.

My work lends itself to black and white . . but for some reason I think it looks better colored . . even if it's simple block "animated" style coloring.

Oh - and I'm just a amateur artist that likes to draw as a hobby. Almost all pro's use photoshop these days.
