[Sandra]Finished! Yay!
I finish off the background behind Superboy with brush and a lighter line weight. The foreground, at his feet, is finished with a heavier line weight and more blacks.
The final step is to come back with white and pop out a few more things. For instance, the gleam in his eye and the shine on his armor are done with some clean white feather lines mixed slightly with dry brush whites to soften it up.
I finish off the whole thing by throwing down some white cracks and dings in his suit, Wonder Woman's head piece, Green Lantern's lantern, etc...
DONE - Whew, now I need a nap!
NOTE: Make sure you have someone standing by to yank the piece away because there's ALWAYS a little more tweaking you can do, especially on Jim.

i always found the armor costume sorta stupid-looking but this piece make superboy look cool and menacing.

pat
this chic has no idea what shes talking about.. but ... i guess the art is decent enough.
not bad considering what you had to work with.
Sandra,
Your skills with Damion Scott brought me to recognize your name. I think you were working w/8.5x11 size pages for Robin. I viewed an artistic explosion that was against the norm from you both, which I enjoyed viewing and deciphering.
Now, too see you with Jim is is just as grand! (I wounder which penciler is harder to work with?) Thanks for the 5 part post. It gives insight to the inking world. Enjoy your weekend.
what an amazin job jim, keep up the good work.
Great inker, great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Incredibile, meraviglioso, stupendo... meglio così che a colori!!!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL
awesome posts - hope to see more inking "tutorials" from you and Rich! Can you clue us in on materials as well? Thank you!
this is exactly the kind of stuff I love to see -- progression of artwork with description of steps and techniques.. You are fantastic, thanks so much.
Keep it comin'!
Get down girl, go'head get down. 8) Amazing work as always Sandra!
