Territorial was pencilled with a Staedtler Field Lead holder using a non-photo blue line lead. This lead makes the surface a bit waxy but I inked it using windsor newton waterproof black ink which stick swell to the paper.

The work was done using a crow quill pen holder with a hunts 10o nib. Lettering as you can see was done right in the page using an Ames Lettering Guide. You can see the finished result for page 1 by following the link.

Rough thumbnails were done in the sketchbook but the layout was re-done by hand on 9×12 smooth bristol.

Once I got into Inking there were lots of ways to go. At first it is hard, you fall in love with the look of your pencils and don’t think of how inking could do anything to add to it. The truth is inks is the finished product and it is at that point where you clean up the ambiguity and make the true statements about light, texture and form.

Next week I will show you the evolution of the monsters in this story.
