Comic Cover Inks
Here are the inks for a couple of pieces I did last week. The first, “Tales to Astonish” is a commission piece. The second, “Curse of the Serpent” was done for last weeks class, ‘Penciling for Graphic Novels.’
The students got to see the completed pencils, but wanted to see the full inks, so I’m posting this for them. I know they’re looking – ‘cuz I can hear them breathing on the screen!
These are photos of the inks. I will be posting the scanned inks, as well as the full color versions. It takes time, so stop pressuring me!
Thunder Lizard inks
I did a drawing, “Thunder Lizard,” for an adventure panel comic. I liked the layout but, as happens sometimes, as I was finishing it I realized the physics of the tail swing were off.
So I did a redesign. Now the physics are correct and the blacks present a much more balanced drawing while giving this long-neck more weight. I also added more texture between the lights and shadows. All in all, a better composition.
Tar Illium (sans text)
So far, I have 5 separate strips (different titles/multiple strips), and a gag panel. And I’m working on one other. Lots of drawing to do!!
3 of these of these strips are Biblically based, as I feel it is important for kids (all readers, actually) to know the truth of scripture
