Our variant cover for Star Wars #50 - out now from Marvel Comics - a family portrait!
Check out how we made it.
COVER SKETCH
The cover concept I sent into Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm for approval.
Roughs were drawn at 2" x 3" in my sketchbook using Warm Grey Copics then colored in Photoshop CS3.
I had a pretty idea of what I wanted to with this one so you can so I set up a pretty simply design with just some editorial tweaks for background figures.
INITIAL PENCILS
Drawn in Light Blue on 12" x 18" Bristol Board
Quickly roughed in the drawing making sure the composition still help.
I printed out my rough in light blue on the paper to ensure the composition was positioned correctly.
Now that I'm happy with the layout I proceed to penciling - using Staedtler HB lead.
Detail - notice the TRACING PAPER over Leia's face so I don't blur with my hand.
Here I used a Micron Pigma 02 Pen to ink the Tie Fighter
Almost Finished Pencils
And the scan of the pencils....
Next time,
