"It's at this point where you have the basic form of your Ghostrider down, that we're going to introduce color into our creation here. And what I like to do, is I like to introduce color at this point because while our main details are captured, knowing kind of where the general color fields will go, we also have not finished really with some of the major, kind of like, the final layer, if you will, of our Ghostrider. This is the appropriate time to add in some color, and Ghostrider has a lot of really rich color. He has all this flame area here, which is primarily yellow, with then red highlights, red and orange highlights throughout, which would easily capture here. I'm using a golden colored pencil. So we're going to wrap color all of this in for that. Another color I'm going to employ is a gray, and the gray is basically going to color in here the Ghostrider's trim. All the special jacket trim of his and his punkish bad boy spiked jacket. It's going to be a nice deep slate gray. And then of course, there is black. Black, dark, evil, questionable character, that's our Ghostrider. So a big swath of his jacket is going to be black. It's going to be almost all of the arms, the midsection, his gloves, are all going to be black. So we're basically going to finish coloring in these three elements along our whole Ghostrider before we put anymore details down. So the entirety of the Ghostrider will be colored in a single step, just one step for all this coloring. And then once we're actually done with that, we'll be able to go on to inking."
