  Approaching subway train

  This is the start picture in a graphic novel I just started drawing. The name of the baby is “The St. Pauli Blues” and the episode is called “The Accountant”. / I am planning to have this made for myself (as soon as I can afford) huge!...most likely a print from the bubble of course. I have now finally seen some of their prints in real life, and I must say I am impressed and wants a few for my studio… / The drawing was both sketched and inked directly on to the final paper used for the actual inking process. / But first I printed a very weak copy of the contours of the photo I used for reference (found on Flickr) on to the paper. I traced the contours of the photo by hand trace on my home made light table, and then scanned them. I also had a copy of the photo on screen as I was sketching and inking to look at for the details. / The paper in question is Canson XL Marker paper. / It’s a A4 70g 100 sheets of paper pad. I do warmly recommend this product for working with markers. / The pens used for this final rendering is exclusively Edding pens of various thickness and dynamics. The Edding series is another product I recommend for artists at all levels. They are refillable (not the real thin ones…but they last very long), and has an incredible dynamic range. It is no problem faking brush strokes at all if wanted. The ink is real good and pitch black.. and they are very much avilable all over. They beat Sharpies by a long stretch on all the important issues. I hope the picture is to some ones taste, to an extend where they’d like to stick it on their living room wall….or the loo :-) Thanks for checking out my art….have a nice and creative life all of you
