Turned in the art for the Usagi Yojimbo Book 31: The Hell Screen hardcover endpaper. Two-ply 500 series Strathmore bristol paper.


Pencils roughed out with a .03 mm 2H mechanical pencil.


Final pencils with .05 mm HB lead.


Foreground inked with Koh-i-Noor ArtPen.


Background with a newer fountain pen.


Pencils are erased, then blacks are spotted and clothing details added to foreground characters.


Background textures added, and finished.


Here are some of the drawing tools I used. L-R: .03 mm mechanical pencil, .05 mm pencil. eraser, Koh-i-Noor ArtPen, handmade pen, Pentel Brush Pen (filled with my own ink).

This was a great reminder! I just went ahead and pre-ordered my hardcover and paperback Volume 31!

Only 2 to 2.5 months until they come out!
