Here is a very old image I did back when I worked at Marvel. Marie Javins
was an editor at the Big M at the time and had a bovine themed collection of
sketches including some incredible ones by all sorts of names in the
industry.
I, of course, had to add to her collection and came up with this
bull. It was done with marker and whiteout...a lot of whiteout. I would
put down blacks with ink, go back over it with white then add black again
and then with white, creating a very 3-D and textured look. May have been
because it was in fact, 3-D. You could run your fingers over the image and
feel and the ink and whiteout caked on all over the piece.
I liked the
etched look it gave me and the illusion of light streaming through the tree
branches. Go to her website and click on the names on the left to see all sorts of other cow-themed sketches. It's worth the trip.

The 3-D textured look came out well with the marker and whiteout. A bull never looked so good. A very interesting piece considering we hardly see you draw any animals besides Krypto in your work.
Well, there's a reason why the grass is so high...

nice cow! now if only krypto was a super-cow. loved the alex ross piece! i was suprised that it was the only one that really had a superhero element to it (unless your piece has wolverine hiding in the grass before pouncing on his 400 pound steak!)
