Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

From Part 1 – Jacob took the final inked image and digitally applied colours to it. The colouring for this work is very subtle but suit the image well. Saved the best for last! Enjoy the below completed work.

I was fortunate enough to purchase this collection of 3 pieces of original art directly from the artist. Pencils Inks Coloured Original pencils were done on copy paper. Using a light table, the image was inked directly onto card stock paper. I love the detail that Jacob has put in Black Cat’s hair. Absolutely fantastic […]

This is where it all comes together. Inking and lettering were digitally done. Unfortunately the picture is a little distorted after shrinking to fit the site but the words are still “just” legible. Enjoy!

Some of my initial concept sketches for the piece. The top right showed the layout I envisioned for the page. My main aim was to get the woman’s body angle correct. I was lucky that the initial sketch kind of turned out the way I wanted it to. Decided against using the full body in […]
