Artwork is scanned into Photoshop at 800dpi Gray full size.

COVER SKETCH

The cover concept I sent into Editor Chris Conroy andDC Comics for approval. 

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

Quickly roughed in the drawing making sure the composition still help.

You can see the light blue ghost of my sketch I printed out underneath the drawing as my compositional guide.

Drawn in Light Blue and HB Lead on 13" x 19" Bristol Board 

Almost there, just need to tighten up the details!

DETAIL

I ended up tightening up the birds later once Rachel started inking the art.
