LINE ART

Rachel Dodson's initial start on the line art on this cover.

Rachel inks directly over my pencils.

TOOLS

Rachel inks with a Windsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable #2 Brush and Royal Talens India Ink.

Love how the strap  by Luke's head turned out.

I  love how she creates "grey".

And notice the details on Luke's ventilator tube.

Check out how Rachel makes the explosion details with Pro White.

I inked the ships with Pigma Micron 02 Pen.

I also fudged her eyes a bit with the pen, to make them a bit more Leia-esque...
