What Are Color Guides (Colorist Art)?

Colorist art, commonly referred to as a color guide, is a photocopy of the original art that is then hand-colored by the colorist. This guide is then used for the computerized color seperations. Just like their original art counterpart, colorist art is a unique one-of-a-kind item. The dimensions for colorist art primarily measure 8.5" X 11". Some pieces will have color "codes" written on them to depict the actual color used for that part of the page. Others will either not have the codes on them or they will be on a separate overlay.
