Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief/artist Joe Quesada posted his process for creating four interlocking covers for Marvel’s upcoming Siege mini series. Note the use of both photo reference and a 3D model to deliver the final product. A lot of amateur artists would call this cheating, but attitudes like that are what separates them from the professionals. The most interesting thing about Joe’s method of composing and creating these four covers is that it begins digitally, but ends with traditional pencil on bristol board.
Speaking of Marvel Comics, their Editor/Talent Scout C.B. Cebulski regularly gives advice to artists and writers looking to break into comics on his Twitter feed. It’s well worth your time to subscribe to it.
