Defenders 3 Cover - Start to Finish





So here's my process for creating the cover to Defenders #3.

First I do a little sketch that I send to Marvel for approval - a 5 x 7" marker drawing done in my sketchbook then colored in Photoshop CS3.

Next, I pencil at 11 x17 on 2 Ply Bristol Board.

Rachel then inks with a brush and ink.

First pass at coloring (in Photoshop).

Final pass at coloring after notes from Marvel.

Voila!

  1. Fantastic. love seeing your process. Marvel should use the marker sketch as a variant. It would sell like crazy.

  4. Fun stuff. Quick question, did you decide to have Namor and Silver Surfer change places or was that a request from Marvel?
