This piece for my buddy @thehoyt is inked. Took a little longer than I hoped. My ink is getting a bit thick, and not flowing from the brush well. I tried watering it down which helped but I think I just need a new bottle. #artistproblems #comics #comicbooks #indiecomics #artistoninsta #comicart #superheroes. https://www.instagram.com/mattcdrawsalot/p/BvH4ZmfhaHq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tn0rea1j7z62
So these are what my pencils look like. I rarely actually do pencils this tight but for a cover commission I really want the art to look crisp and beautiful. For interiors I tend to go with what I know will print or scan well and I can really cut corners for speed. Now as far as the actual drawing here...you ever get that feeling when you draw something and you just know this one is going to be so much fun to ink? So much fun to see finished. Well I was recently commissioned to do a play off of the cover of the classic Justice League #122. The amazing person who commissioned the piece mentioned maybe using the Legion of Super Pets but left it pretty wide open. I was hesitant at first because honestly drawing cats and dogs always makes me nervous. Strangely enough drawing a horse (which some people say is hard) didn't. But I do love drawing chimps so I at least attempted it. And man I have to say I REALLY love this piece so far. I'll be inking soon and will try to video the inking process in a time-lapse. But I'm really excited to knock this one out. In case you are wondering for the typography I generally blueline that on the board and ink that before I do the pencils. I know generally where shapes overlap so I can plan ahead. But I do ink it freehand. It needs to be authentic.
