Here are examples from a work-in-progress called <strong><em>Chizzy's Topsy Tale</em></strong>.<br />
<br />
First, Kevin draws the image on white paper using a black marker.<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div align="center"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEAREyz-j-I/AAAAAAAAAZc/uMeq1YY-o1I/s1600-h/art_1_.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206179943297224674" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEAREyz-j-I/AAAAAAAAAZc/uMeq1YY-o1I/s400/art_1_.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
After scanning the art into his computer, Kevin "inverts" the image, making it a "negative."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEARRiz-j_I/AAAAAAAAAZk/C2WslQuekCs/s1600-h/art_2_.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206180162340556786" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEARRiz-j_I/AAAAAAAAAZk/C2WslQuekCs/s400/art_2_.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
Next, using rbg color and paint buckets in Adobe Photoshop, Kevin colors the images.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEARhiz-kAI/AAAAAAAAAZs/wy7tn-58SJw/s1600-h/art_3_.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206180437218463746" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uK2xJPcrKmA/SEARhiz-kAI/AAAAAAAAAZs/wy7tn-58SJw/s400/art_3_.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
Finally, each color area is individually selected and a "lighting effect" added to create shadows and dimension.<br />
<br />

Along the way, Dotty gets them lost in the woods. The meet a lion cub who is scared of them and they are scared that the cub's mother might return. They tell the cub they are lost, and he points them in the right direction. They stop their snack search to help a baby elephant out of the mud.
