It’s time to get moving on the next comic book Bloomsday ad, and today I’m working on the preliminary sketch. This is just one element of the piece, and there’s still plenty of stuff to add before moving on to final inking and colorization. Nevertheless, I’m excited about the direction the illustration is going, and I like the energy of this sketch. Just thought I’d share part of the process.

Incidentally, this was done on the computer using Corel Painter XI. I drew it just like I would on paper, instead using my Wacom Intuos 3 pressure sensitive pad.
