The Making of The Count

How'd I do it? Watch how I work! Here are scanned images of the illustration in development! See The Count in the works, from preliminary pencil sketch to the final pen & ink drawing! These phase-by-phase drawings may also give you some ideas for your own drawings!

Phase 1 I'm happy with the character itself but there's a lot of white space around him. How about a pattern for his cape & brickwork in the background?	Phase 2 Added folds for the cape & then some raven feathers on his back, to even out the weight. There's also a doorway now to frame the figure. I still haven't decided what pattern or texture to put on the cape.	Phase 3 Ah well, I proceeded with the inking of the outlines as I know I'll only get stuck thinking about the patterns. I'm happy with the clean & crisp lines. It's already starting to look good! I didn't ink in the doorway yet because I'm having second thoughts about it.
Phase 4 Finally - lizard skin for the cape!	Phase 5 Went with the original plan of brickwork in the background; plus, the doorway was a good idea after all!
