The tower, the staraxe, triangle, flames, and lettering were done by hand with colored pencil, then scanned into the computer for some slight touching up and realignment. Finally I added the red background from a photograph. On the whole it ended up pretty well (better on paper, believe me). I'm not happy about the lettering though...
You can find out more about the book here.
In all honesty the lettering is pretty good! What don't you like about it? I especially like the way you drew "By Daniel Sampson." That part flows really well.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks! I felt like the coloring should have been more consistent...
ReplyDeletePhotoshop can fix anything! well, almost anything, but definetly that.... OR you can use a colorless blender on the original artwork. It makes colored pencil super smooth. It's kind of magic :) I use them all the time.

There are really no good art stores anywhere near you, but Michael's would have something basic like this :) If you ever feel like it, there is a Dick Blick Store in Shaumburg. It's awesome!
