Black and white Art Gallery.
Permalink   


I thought i would post some examples of fully inked art. Pencils by the talented Mark brooks, Inks by me! The Doubl page spread is penciled by Chris Bachalo. Actually i had to do finishes on the Chris peice, for Deadline reasons.


Let me know if you have any trouble seeing the pics.Here is some trouble shooting answers, courtesy of Beyonder.


If you use firefox, just right click on the image and select "view image".
If you use internet explorer, right click on the image, properties, copy the exact URL of the image and post it in the address bar and press enter.






Just some Examples.

If the images don't show and if you use firefox, just rightclick and watch the picture on it's own. That way it does load.

I think the server disallows hotlinking of images somehow.

when I load the page, no.
But when I right click the image and go to the source with my browser, I does load.
And for some reason, it also loads on this page then.

Jaime




much much better this way.
In fact, when you make a new post on the main page, let the comments section lead to the matching topic in the forum.

I know it's extra work for you, but I'm only suggesting.
Disregard if you don't feel like it :)

Cover to New X-men #22.


As you can see this was a very involved piece. With so many characters and things going on it can be a challenge to keep everything clear and concise.

This is the cover to Arana #1. Man those buildings were a bitch! Mark Killed me with this one. Note: I generaly don't use Technical pens(Rapidographs, Ect.) for Backgrounds.


I try to do as much as possible with the Crow quill, I like to make sure that the backgrounds have as much life in them as the organics. It's hard to do and takes practice but if you can get good at inking with an nib and a straight edge(raised) then you can achieve some real nice and dynamic back grounds.

i tried to make straight lines with a crow quill and raised straight edge but the ink would pool on to the raised part then drip so ive had to rely on a tech pen

The key to avoid pooling and then the ink dripping and getting under your straight edge is to not load up too much ink in your nib.


It takes some pratice and touch but just because it doesnt work the first few times doesnt mean to stop. Just play around with it and get a feel for it, you will be able to control it with pratice and repetition.

Here is a head sketch that Jim Daly did, playing around with his new found method of drawing. I think it's interesting the way his uses the loose quality of his lines to define and suggest shapes.

This was issued as the Cover to the first Issue of Elsinore from Alias Comics.


Pencils by Brian Dnham, Inks by Jaime Mendoza.



This was an interior page that was never used. In fact it was redrawn.

No I can't see them. All I see are little red X's. How do you post pictures anyway? Does the picture have to be on a web page to see and starts out like "http://"?


 NOrm
