Pretty standard process in creating this one. I worked everything out in a series of studies and then drew it in pencil. After inking, all the guide lines could be erased. I did experiment with some dry brush though...
An illustration for a poem in a magazine. The finished illustration and the underdrawing, before I made some changes and added the rendering. Graphite on Bristol board.
I start off with a series of preliminaries, working out elements such as the composition and the look of the characters. Next, the entire drawing is laid out in graphite. Then the lines are refined and given weight in the inking stage. Finally color is added in Photoshop.
