Bombshells United #11 Cover Art Step by Step Part 1 Pencils

Here's a look at how we made the cover art for Bombshells United #11 - 

out now from DC Comics and Marguerite Bennett and Stephen Byrne.


PART 1

PENCILS


COVER SKETCH

The cover concept I sent into DC Comics and editor Kristy Quinn for approval. 

Roughs were drawn at 2" x 3" in my sketchbook using Warm Grey Copics then colored in Photoshop CS3.


INITIAL PENCILS

Drawn in Light Blue on 12" x 18" Bristol Board 


I draw with Col Erase Light Blue Pencil and Staedtler HB Lead Pencil.



And then, the story takes place in Madrid, Spain and I actually took a bunch of pics of Madrid when I was there and I set the scene in my favorite area...


It was a blast to incorporate these amazing buildings into the background!


FINAL PENCILS


All ready for Rachel Dodson to ink...

Next time,

  1. I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while: Why do you draw in blue pencil? I know it doesn’t reproduce well—does it erase better?

    1. I draw heavy handed so the blue pencil helps keep my pages cleaner when I do all my initial drawing and backgrounds and perspective lines in blue (light).
