Here are a couple more of the
much-liked "Radio Term Illustrated" comics, these appearing in the November 1947 issue
of Radio-Craft magazine. I probably spend way more time on colorizing these
comics than I should. You might think it's easy to just fill in areas with color,
but most of the comics are drawn in a manner where outlines of larger objects do
not terminate against another line. Being able to use a fill tool requires sealing
off the area first. Then there's the case of where an area uses a series of closely
spaced lines or cross-hatches. An area fill tool doesn't work well there, either,
so the best way I've found is to outline the area with a Bezier curve tool and copy
/ paste it over itself so it is a separate object, then use a color transform tool
to shift the entire area to the chosen color. Even with all that work, the comics
rarely turn out the way I'd like them to.
