In this panel, Steve Rogers looks up from his bunk to see his fellow soldiers engaged in the type of revelry in which he can't partake (he must keep a low profile so as not to compromise his secret identity... you know, superhero stuff). As usual, I play all the cast members. The page itself was pretty complex, so I've included the planning stages below.

Hi Love your blog
ReplyDeleteJust wondered with the charcoal under drawing did you try and "Fix" it or just paint / work on top?
Did this cause many problems ?
Best,Graham.
Nope, just straight charcoal, which was part of the problem. I paint on paper because of its absorbency, so putting a layer of fixative would defeat the purpose for me. It's worth a shot though, so don't rule it out. Primarily, charcoal just isn't good for the scale that I work at, which requires a lot of fine detail. I would consider using it again for a cover or pin-up with a large central figure. In that case, it's better than pencil.
