In this activity I've taken a drawing by comic artist legend Kevin Maguire (below) and attempted to redraw it, adding light and tonality. Pretty neat exercise, and all from the comfort of my couch thanks to the new iPad :)
Process steps and layer breakdown following.
Initial sketch, breaking down forms, and getting proportions
Line drawing over the top to create clarity
First layer inkwash, seperated layer
First layer inkwash with ink layer composited
I could add colour but it'd be so much work, and I think I've learned what I need to from this exercise. Let me know what you think, and if anyone wants to finish it for me I'm happy to send you the raw files.
