CATWOMAN #27 Cover Step by Step

Here's a look of how the cover to Catwoman 27 was made



My cover sketches I sent to Editor Rachel Gluckstern at DC Comics for approval. These covers feature the Gothtopia  storyline and Catwoman is the Catbird character - a Robin type of sidekick to Batman.

They were
drawn at 2x3 inches in my sketchbook in pencil and Pitt/Pigma pens and Copic Grey Markers and then cleaned up and colored in Photoshop

c2 is approved.


My  pencils, drawn in Light Blue and HB lead on 12 x 18 Bristol Board.


A close up look.


Rachel Dodson's inks  - using a Windsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable #2 Brush and Higgins Black Magic ink, plus a little tech pen and croquille for the straight lines.


Rachel started with the foremost element and then worked background.









After Rachel finished up, I lettered in the logo on the Garbage bin and added details to the background buildings.



The art is then scanned and cleaned in Photoshop.



I use Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet to color the art. I stuck really close to my approved sketch.

The cover is out in stores starting today!

You can find this comic at your local comic book retailer


And digitally at Comixology 


Enjoy!

X-MEN #7 Page 9 Step by Step

A look behind the making of  Marvel Comics X-Men #7 Page 9 (out in stores now).

Script by Brian Wood.


This page was drawn on 12 x 17 Marvel stock bristol board, using a Col Erase Light Blue and Staedtler HB Lead pencil. I rough in all pencils quickly and bear in mind perspective, etc as I everything will be off if it's not correct at the beginning. Knowing the perspective actually makes drawing the panels a lot easier to draw to boot!


 A lot of times I  start with the "easiest" to draw elements first, to give myself a mental lift of having a page "almost" completed at the beginning :-).



There was very little  character storytelling, so I got that done as the rest of the page was very mechanical to do.


The finished page.

Rachel inking directly on my pencils, using a Windsor Newton Series 7 #2 Sable Brush, Higgins Black Magic Ink plus a croquille and tech pen for some details.


The artwork is then scanned and cleaned in Photoshop - I adjust the panels so they all fit and have proper borders.

 Then I put it on the Marvel Server for the colorist.
