I figured I’d let you peek behind the curtain since the new school year starts tomorrow and I’m really tired. Today’s MINIon shows you what the original draft looks like before I ink it and color it. I use a non-photo blue pencil to draw, ink it in and scan my finished drawing in “line art” mode which takes off the blue and only deals with the black ink. so while I have been drawing these enough that my arm hurts, this is how it is done. The original can be as sloppy as I like since only the ink appears in the final. This was drawn using a normal #2 .5 mechanical pencil which I really dislike since I always break the lead. I actually use a Prismacolor Verithin pencil when drawing because they don’t break as easily as a normal Prismacolor pencil.
