Monsters in the Closet: page three
These pencils are incomplete. After inking the lettering, I inked the portions of the art that looked okay, then finished up the background, pencilling and inking in more or less one step. It would have been better to finish all the pencils at once but I often resort to this tentative, wishy washy approach to keep things moving and avoid getting hung up on the details that I'm not sure about.

I loved this story. The artwork is incredible! How did you ink all of the ovals in panel one? Templates? With the 102 nib, or some kind of marker?
ReplyDeleteYes, with templates and a Rapidograph. If I had it to do over again, I would have pencilled them with templates and inked them freehand with a 102 so they wouldn't look so clean and new.
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty great as is. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave.
