Like everyone else, I love seeing the process happen, so I decided to go extra deep on this commission for Johnny the Homicidal Drummer.
Let's get started with Part 1!
I printed out the approved layout on regular printer paper. I taped it to a thin piece of white acrylic
I salvaged from Work and put my desk lamp against it for some cheap lightboxing.

I start penciling with a very soft lead (4B) getting the shapes transferred and starting to play with the details.

Tightening up the pencils, going to keep things more open since this will have some marker put on it later.

Starting to Ink Hercules, I should wait until I more penciled but I am crazy like that

. I was going for happy/a little insane for the facial expression. I hope that came across

.

End of part one! Thor is gonna need some (a lot of) work and I need to put some minor background stuff in before we start coloring.
Part two will be up by/on Monday. Thanks for looking!
