ART/COMICS – Deadpool Sketch Cover and Process

I finished my third Sketch Cover. This one featuring the very popular Deadpool.  This is the first time I’ve ever tried drawing him.

He’s always breaking the fourth wall so have him do so in this cover with a gag.  Not sure how successful it is.

The Process

I use the exact same process with this cover as I did with the last two.

I started digitally, using the scanned version of the Batman ’66 cover as my template. Below is my first rough:

I then drew a second pass over that and refined the drawing:

Once I’d done that, I printed out the drawing and cut up sheet of paper so I could tape it on the actual sketch cover:

I then took a pencil and darkened up the back to make it like carbon paper, so I could transfer the image over to the actual cover:

Unfortunately, I was in such a rush to get done that I forgot to take a picture of what the transferred drawing looked like.

Once I had transferred the drawing, I used some micron pens and a Pentel Pocket brush pen to ink the drawing.  Which is the drawing featured above.

Let me know if you have any questions.
