X-MEN #19 Step by Step PART TWO INKS

How we made the cover to X-Men #19 (out now from Marvel Comics by Marc Guggenheim and Harvey Tolibao).

Now, part two - Rachel's inks…

The final art inked directly over my pencils on 12 x 18 Bristol Board

Rachel likes to start inking the foreground elements first

and then work her way back

Rachel uses Windsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable #2 Brush and Higgins Black Magic Ink to ink the covers with.

Still all brush work

The final inked art.

Details of the final inks.

AXIS #5 Preview

Here's a sneak peek at a panel from Marvel Comics AXIS #5 out in November - written by Rick Remender with art by Rachel and me plus colors by Laura Martin.

X-MEN #19 Step by Step PART ONE Pencils

How we made the cover to X-Men #19 (out now from Marvel Comics by Marc Guggenheim and Harvey Tolibao).

As usual we start off with the cover sketches

Editor Daniel Ketchum and I discussed the story - still featuring the X-Men in Space - but went with an "ALIENS" scary type of scenario.

B was picked.

The sketches are drawn at 2x3 inches in my sketchbook in pencil and pen and then cleaned up and colored in Photoshop.

Initial pencils of Psylocke and Monet drawn in Light Blue and HB lead on 12 x 18 Bristol Board.

I was happy with the drawing itself so wanted to capture the mood of the sketch so I scanned in the drawing and matched the shadows and blacks up with the sketches.
