Giant Size X-Men #1

Sort of used this piece as an airbush test when I got my new compressor. 
Started out as a black and white value study to get the sizes and positions and poses all settled. Used ink and brush and pencil to figure everything out.

After airbrushing inks to lay down a base gradient for all the color fields. I went in and picked out all the details in watercolor.

 Close ups show some of the finer detail like the hair on wolverines arm.

 Final detailing was handled with colored pencil. Most outlining and finer areas are all colored pencil.


 I was REALLY thrilled with the Bamf! around Nightcrawler.


Only a few things were really modified from the original image by Dave Cockrum. But I was really happy to change up Angel's pose in the background.
