Alright, here is part two of my step-by-step WIP of the title page, if you are in my +3 tier or higher you would have seen part one a while back, if not, check it out here, I have just changed the filter so everyone can see it. https://www.patreon.com/posts/webcam-show-wip-6494084

So for these six WIPs here is what is going on (start top left):

1) finished all the first layer of cell-shading

2) adding yellow highlights to the areas not covered by the shading

3) adding extra dark shading to the areas with cell-shading (this is not very noticeable on this image, on other pictures it can make a huge difference)

4) adding sharp highlights to make the characters shine, I also removed my original background, which served me to roughly pinpoint where the lights was coming from.

5) At this point I added some text, played with the background color, started playing with the levels, contrasts and brightness to get the image looking how I would like it too, this can take a lot of time, I often have to walk away from the computer and come back to view it with fresh eyes. I also added in the couch.

6) This is it finished, I added a layer on the top with some noise you would see from a screen, added the record effects and played more with levels, saturation and colors. I also changed the text colors and effects to better suit the image.
and there we go, the steps I take to create a digital cell-shaded image. My comic style is very similar except I do not add the extra layer or dark shading, and the sharp highlights.

Cheers!
