Multiple Inking Styles over Dell'Otto tonal pencils of Spider-Man

I found this tonal pencil drawing of Spider-man by Gabriele Dell’otto along with seven variations of inking styles by:

• Andy Brase;
• Tony DeZuniga;
• Craig Hamilton;
• Geof Isherwood;
• Terry Moore;
• Josef Rubinstein; and
• Atula Siriwardane.

Awesome example of how comic book inkers are not “tracers” but true artists bringing their own unique style to the creative process.

Update on Thursday, April 8, 2010 by Kris Black

I decided to color Geof Isherwoods inks. I used Corel Painter 11 and my Wacom Intuos 3 6 x 11 tablet. I experimented with a warm light coming from the left and a cooler backlight from the lower right. I’m pleased with my first attempted at coloring a comic book illustration.
