The don't make a mark until they've started to see the image in their head.<BR/><BR/>You can also use colored pencils for this stage, like light blue, changing to a different color or darker lead for the later stages. It makes cleaning up the layout easier.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I like to do some rough inks with a marker, especially if the layout is looking a little chaotic. I'll also add some large black areas with a big marker or a brush dipped in ink. If I'm not sure about the black areas I might spot the blacks on a copy of the layout. Tracing paper works too.Kevin Nowlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850394971503635916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-65089068177257711742009-04-03T13:25:00.000-05:002009-04-03T13:25:00.000-05:00I like the head in the lower left hand corner and ...I like the head in the lower left hand corner and how it breaks the panel border. Good position and still moves the storytelling of the page on.<BR/><BR/>And the extra drawing of the inset was great too.<BR/><BR/>BTW, how do you approach layouts? Do you prefer to go in via pencils then rough inks to see for shading or does pencil shading give you what you want? Just noticed that some of the drawings are in pencils, some in pencils then a really rough ink, some in a "tight" pencils, etc.PatrickWedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041782527066455082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-64124840446750953002009-04-03T10:45:00.000-05:002009-04-03T10:45:00.000-05:00Many thanks Mr. :)Many thanks Mr. :)Anthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213048078550216682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-83445731874890964272009-04-03T06:32:00.000-05:002009-04-03T06:32:00.000-05:00It may take a while to find it but I think I have ...It may take a while to find it but I think I have a color copy of it that I can scan.

In my opinion that robot batman is very stunning. Could you please give me a version of this image without the barcode, dc logo, etc..., a version with only your art in high resolution? Thank you!!!Anthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213048078550216682noreply@blogger.com
