glines – Almond Ink

Shane Glines is the brilliant designer behind Warner Brothers’ SAMARAI JACK, BATMAN, BATMAN BEYOND, SUPERMAN, JUSTICE LEAGUE and KIM POSSIBLE. This is the 1st time inking any of his drawings and only the 2nd time over an animator’s. Steve Pillarella commissioned me to ink over these two head sketches in non-photo blueline pencil on 8.5X11 paper. “Chelsea” is my 6th job for Steve and it was inked mostly with brush with some quick marker lines. It was finished on 7/17/2006.
