We’ve got something special for you guys today! Meredith sent us some awesome process videos — taking a page from this most recent chapter and giving us three videos taking us from layouts all the way through to final color!
Meredith is typically too busy (chained to her desk!) to skulk around the Substack, but she’s agreed to check in off and on today and answer questions you might have about her process in the comments!
LAYOUTS TO PENCILS:
PENCILS TO INKS:
INK TO COLORS:
And if some of you are intrigued and want to start reading BLACK CLOAK for yourselves — you can read Chapter 1 for free RIGHT HERE.
And here are links to Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4 if you go paid! And these aren’t just small sections — these first 4 chapters represent over 70 pages of content! These are BIG Chapters just like your monthly comics in print!
I hope you all enjoy! And don’t forget to hassle Meredith with weird questions. She’ll love it! ;D

My first question (shhh! I don't care if it's cheating!) -- do you know when you transitioned to digital only for your art? What do you think has been the biggest strength and biggest weakness for you in that move?
Meredith, hi!! First time long time. How did you develop your own style? Every time I try to draw something it always feels like I’m copying someone else! Thanks! (I’ll hang up now and listen on the radio)
