I'm still in Hawaii, but deadlines are deadlines and I am spending much of my time drawing. I sent off the art for UY 166 and the cover for 168 today.
The cover was drawn on 2-ply 500 series11x17 inch Strathmore Bristol with a 10x15.5 image area.
rough pencils drawn with .5mm HB mechanical pencil. I an just dealing with shapes and composition at this stage.
Finished pencils with .7mm B mechanical pencil.
Inked with Koh-i-Noor ArtPen and Platinum Carbon Black ink.
Erased with Sumo Grip eraser.
the finished cover.
Alternate, unused, cover design.
