Also whining? What...there was no whining
Ah, so "gna gna gna it's hard", "gna gna gna I'm tired", "gna gna gna I'm not done" wasn't whinning? xD Oh good then! ^^

did you draw everything then scan it in and add the colours etc? I'm in love with the textures and details

I did it for the first page (scanning + redrawing) but I drew the rest directly in PS (page 2 and 3). Scanning + redrawing doesn't help a lot when I draw comics because I tend to add a lot of elements in the page, change the layout, sometimes change the pose or the reference pictures. I prefer working directly in PS.
For instance if you look at page 1, the bottom panel, I added the Winter Soldier walking near the KGB files (he wasn't there on the prompt I submitted but when I drew the page, there was clearly something missing on the left)

The grainy effect is obtained thanks to two things:
- I added just a bit of noise (Gaussian, monochromatic, 1 or 2 points)
- I added at a very low opacity a grainy texture on some part of the pic (soft light, I think the opacity was about 30%)

I hope I answered your questions ^^
Thank you so much for your help and your support Becc!
You are always so kind (AND PATIENT) with me.

Thank you so much for explaining everything! It's very interesting and helpful, I'm always trying out new ways to get some nice grainy texture. I'm not a big fan of flat colours - I always want to break it up somehow.
