Description Here's a piece that I found from the group. It was fun to play around with such a limited palette and a tougher challenge than it appears.

Here's a link to a blog post, by letterer extraordinaire Todd Klein, about his early days of working in the DC Comics production department: kleinletters.com/Blog/coloring…
It's crazy to see the limited palette that was available in those days. And yet so much was done with it.

Coloring looks good, I like the old paper effect as well.

And yes a simple one color palette is not a easy one.

Good job and thank you for coloring my inks.
