What techniques are important for inking and coloring DC Comics-style drawings?

For inking, focus on line weight variation to define forms, indicate depth, and create dynamic emphasis. Use clean, confident strokes. For coloring, understand basic color theory and how to use flat colors, cell shading, and gradients to create depth and mood. Pay attention to light sources to apply highlights and shadows effectively. Digital coloring often involves flatting, selecting a consistent light source, and then applying successive layers of shadows and highlights.
