Work in Progress of this beautiful cover with Francis 's comments. This was a recent cover I did for a 3 issue Drednoks mini for Devils Due. This is probably the first cover that I've inked and shaded. The guys from Devils Due were cool enough to let me try something new. Anyways here's how the process went: the layout. pretty standard layout I sent to the editors before I would start the cover. Since it's the first issue it was important to feature the main character and more or less go for a more traditional composition. After, the layout I then drew it on an 11x17 comic art board. Lately I've actually been blowing up these layouts and lightboxing them onto the art board. However when I was working on this cover I was actually in San Diego for the con so I ended up just working on the board straigt on. I used a staedler tech pencil with an HB lead. Since I was on the road I wasn't able to bring any of my brush and inking tools, so I went super efficient with this and inked it with a brush and 's' marker (Faber-Castell). The tones were done with Koh-I-Noor woodless graphite pencils. I'm pretty happy with how the figures turned out, also since I was drawing on a drawing pad when I was shading Zartan's leg armor it started making these textures on them which turned out quite nicely. I'm not too fond of how the skull shadow turned out on the water though. And thats pretty much it.
