My submission for Where They Draw. Here are my two work stations, one digital, and one analog, and my most-used tools.
Some scans from my sketchbook, including some superheroes in varying degrees of discomfort. I often wonder why I draw superheroes, when I haven’t read a superhero comic since I was twelve. But I think it’s because the skin tight outfits means you can dress a figure without worrying about drawing any pesky folds in the fabric.
I’ve been using a light grey marker for a lot of my underdrawings lately. I like to do most of the actual drawing in the inking stage, but I still need the crutch of an initial rough underneath.
With pencils I tend to spend too much time rendering, and erasing, and fussing. And when I ink a pencil drawing, I get hung up on tracing it and making the lines perfect. The permanence and thickness of the marker’s lines means less fussing, and forces me to embrace spontaneity.
The inking was done with Rapidographs, a G-Nib, and a Zebra brushpen.
