noob question on flash

[tattooski11]

is their a specific size that flash is supposed to be?
also does it matter what you use to color it with?
or do people generally want watercolor?
and how much is a reasonable price and for how many sheets?
thanks again

most people prefer prizma colors for coloring
as for size just remeber that it should be easy for the artist to display in the racks.
and price varies its basicly whatever you can get for it

11 x 14 fits most standard flash racks. Kinkos will make color copies for you on heavy cardstock for about 1.20 a sheet. People really want good line drawing with the flash. these can be on lightweight paper, but should be included. Price varies with originality + demand.

COOL THANKS FOR THE TIP. BUT I WAS WONDRING WHAT YOU MEAN BY GOOED LINE DRAWING THAT SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. MY FLASH IS VERY CLEAN AND PRECISE. BUT IF I COPY THEM TO HEAVIER CARD STOCK AND ALSO AT THE LARGER SIZE, WHAT IS THAT THAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT BEING INCLUDED. DO YOU MEAN OUTLINES OR COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL SIZED ONES ON REGULAR PAPER?

I assumed you were selling copies of your original (the card stock)..
If ARE selling copies of the riginals then the heavy paper should be used for the full sheet color copies.
If you are selling originals you'll still want to do them on nice heavy Bristol paper.
As for line drawings. These can most easily be made before your sheet is colored. It is simply what it sounds like..the outline. Use a good super fine drawing pen (.01 is best) Basicly what you will do is take the sketches you want to turn into flash, decide how you will laythem out onto the page. transfer them (or ketch them lightly in pencil, however you do it. Then outline (all important lines like you would a stencil) with fine line, erase pencil. Once your sheet is full.. Run down to kinkos and copy onto standard paper. Now you can color your outlines, now run and copy that onto good paper. This is one sheet of flash with lines. Artists appreciate linework because it saves them time, that they would have to xerox flash, then hand trace int linework, then turn into stencil..
Hope that explains it better :-)
