I was also doing a lot of other illustration work at the time and balancing the schedules did involve a lot of late nights. My aim was to turn out five pages in a week, which I did manage on a few occasions. The quickest work around I found was to draw the whole thing out in ink onto Fabbriano watercolour paper, which was absorbent but not too absorbent. This meant that I could then work over it with magic markers without the markers bleeding a couple of miles beyond the key lines. And then in a near psychedlic stupor from all those lovely marker vapours I would then pick out highlights in gouache.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-35019225226474606302009-11-19T07:19:07.831+00:002009-11-19T07:19:07.831+00:00Oh wow, I'm loving your work on this.

Some of the scenes in that freaked me out for years, thanks!

The rain drops I found really helped the illusion as they just followed the perspective of the picture and acted as a lead in.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-58085025452889434432009-11-18T21:23:47.125+00:002009-11-18T21:23:47.125+00:00Really like that page , it's such a great angl...Really like that page , it's such a great angle gives a great sense of dangerjames corcoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003992401327944301noreply@blogger.com
