DC Special Series #6 1977 Cover Art Re-creation
This is not the original drawing done by Arvell Jones.
The drawing is signed on the back by Kurt Brugel with a notation that this is a recreation after the original artists work.
Materials: Graphite pencils on white 65lb card-stock paper
Dimensions: 11 x 17 inches
This was done as a commission.
Take a second look and read the word-balloons, they are hilarious!
Here’s the original DC Special Series #6 splash page image I worked from and some step by step process scans and video I made while working on this preliminary drawing.
I start all drawings with an outline drawing.
Next comes the smudging with a chamois.
Then comes my favorite part - My Electric Eraser!
And then comes the regular eraser to soften egdes.
The last thing I do is sharpen my Staedtler Norica HB 2 pencil and provide all of the finishing details.
