This is a wrap around cover for an upcoming book. Found a bunch of progress shots, in case you wanna see. I work pretty much traditionally except the coloring and some jacking around with the thumbnails.
starts with the basic idea of course...
then a figure out the vanishing points and details
then the pencils
and onto inking. All the inks are done with a brush ( windsor newton series 7 no.0 ) A pain the the ass, but it gives it more charm. ( I tell myself this)
and that's that, pretty much it.
