Kelci always sends over penciled layouts, and often flatted colors, for review before finalizing art for a comic. 

Balloons for lettering are sketched as placeholders. Writers keep in mind not to use too many words of dialogue as they might not fit in the panel and overtake the information the art is conveying. 

I found this definition for the process of flatting colors: "In graphic design and art, when someone refers to a 'flat' color, they are typically talking about a color that appears solid and lacks any gradients, textures, or shading."
