Casey Jones
This was the first time I'd inked Casey's work and it was a blast. It looks like it would be simple to ink but these kinds of more minimal- istic renderings, while not as meticulous as a Velluto or Medina image, can be a little misleading; with the hundreds of lines & details in a Velluto one can afford to not get a few lines perfect because they're hidden in the art...a more basic drawing means that every line matters and errors will show so it's more of a challenge of control. Plus you can't take many liberties with this kind of job. Spider-man was 11" X 17" and inked in brush but some small details and most of the webbing was inked with marker. This 11 X 17 image was completed on 10/27/03.
