Comics Trail Art - early stage


I thought you might like to see what my artwork for the Shrewsbury Comics Trail looked like during the pencil stage. The brief was to illustrate a composition of various things that take place in The Dingle. My original art is A3 size, but it was englarged to billboard size for the finished product.

Here's how it looks after I'd inked and coloured it, for it to be printed and displayed at The Dingle. Photo by Sarah Prince...

Hello. Out of interest, why do you use a blue pencil rather than a regular grey one? Thanks Steve

The blue isn't picked up by the scanner when scanned as a bitmap, so I don't need to spend time erasing the pencils after inking it.
