Very impressive. The composition is out of this world! And anything with such a great Rogue is always a winner. Kudos.

It's always very informative to see this - even going back to art from the Renaissance.

Those are sloppy "x's" that everybody uses to indicate blacks to the inker.

I remember doing the same thing years ago when I saw pencils for the first time.

So why do you do little x's instead of filling in? Waste of graphite? messes with the inks?

Exactly - it's like that with a lot of stuff!

I should try inking one of these one day for practise. Unless your wife tracks me down and beats me up that is^^

The only thing is, a lot of the time I do work on the art after the pencils are scanned and even after Rachel inks it.
But go for it!

Oh really so the inks arent always 100% complete
lines?
I dont have any illusions that my inks will be as
nice tho^^

TerryDodson In reply to Muady [2010-05-13 15:04:35 +0000 UTC]
For example, as the drawing is getting inked, I will look at it and put more blacks in or remove blacks, etc. It has become a very organic process as Rachel and I have worked side by side for 14 years.

Awesome work as always. How long does it take you to complete a cover illustration like this? Baring editorial changes and sketches, just pencil work.

As long as I need - I don't worry about time when penciling a cover as that is what SELLS the book. I would guess about 2 days though.
