The cover to my new sketchbook!
BOMBS AWAY!
A Terry Dodson Sketchbook Collection
There is a 4 page sequence in sketchbook on "How I created the Cover Art", but here's another look!
Part 1
LINE ART
Initial Rough In
Basically happy with the concept and composition.
Face Detail
Now I move on to detail.
First thing was to get the face where I wanted it!
I then move on to the Cycle!

Part Two
The book debuts at Emerald City Comic Con Table L4 and world wide soon afterward.
This collects highlights from last 3 years of my personal sketchbooks in a 32 page soft cover published by Flesk Publications!
It’s a comfortable 6" W x 8.25” with folded flap on front and back cover and a nice spot on page 1 to get a personalized sketch!

Based on the initial rough drawing, it looks like you had a set idea of how you wanted the bike to look. Is the design for her bike something you work out ahead of time?
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteAs you will see in the sketchbook itself, I had already designed the bike. The sketchbook features a step by step making of the cover with those design sketches to boot!
