PENS TEST

I created these samplings to help remind me of what kind of line quality, flow and ink richness I want for a specific task.
These are all pens with hard nibs, no brush pens or soft tipped markers.
The type of paper you use also matter, because some pens may respond much better on a different surface.

Everyone will have different results, so I'd advice drawing up a test page of your own.
Keep it around like a menu to see which pens respond best to your needs.
Know your materials, Know your tools. It will allow you to do the experimentation on what really matters - the image!

TEST RUN

Did this quickly to figure out how the capturing app works for future process vids.

Unused cover sketch for the WHAT IF Daredevil/Elektra issue.

CARBINE

DIGITAL INKS

Finding the best virtual brush to make the lines appear as brush inked... Cintiq!!!

Barbarian:WIP 2009

Here's a digital painting that is in it's infancy. Just working out the rough forms. I drew directly on the Cintiq for the figure and weapons, then placed a scanned pencil drawing made with an old mechanical pencil behind.

I will add more as I continue and cleanup the figure. I wanted to capture the smile first and work from there after getting the general forms laid down.
