#got spoil of wars

A quick process of my last illustration, Winter is here. 

My scanner rioted, but it still gives a little insight. 

1/ I do a rough sketch, using Photoshop, and keep is messy and loose, then I print it and…

2/ …I clean up the lines, using an ink pen.

3/ I add values to determine my lighting and have an idea of where I’m going before starting inking.

4/ Ink ! Several layers of ink on 300g/m2 watercolor paper. Using salt for the snow flakes in the background ! 

5/ Scan, edit, add more values to help the eye reading the picture.

And voilà ! 

Winter is here.

I made this piece as I got so thrilled watching the new Game of Thrones season, where everyone is incredibly concerned (also, dragons). Can’t wait to see what will happen next to the Worried Squad ©
