Drawn in Light Blue on 13" x 19" Bristol Board.

Lady Blackhawk ECCC 2013 Step by Step

I think, my very first Lady Blackhawk convention sketch, from Emerald City Comic Con, Seattle, March 1-3, 2013. I was reminded I drew her on a Birds of Prey cover!

Quickly laid Light Blue Col Erase pencil and then POW! into the inks with a Pitt F pen.

 

Continuing with the F pen...

After outlining with F, went in with 2 and 3 Warm Copic Markers.

Finished up more Copics Warm Grey and 08 Pigma Micron Black pens

 and White Prismacolor Pencil.

Sketch drawn on 11 x 16 Canson Mi-Teint Paper.

Still more to come...
