I came across a still from Jason and the Argonauts, which is a movie that had a profound influence on my formative years. I’d recommend seeing it for the Ray Harryhausen animation alone. So here’s my process.
I started with pencils.
Then I moved onto line work.
Then I added some spot blacks
And followed by some ink wash.
And finally I added a color layer and adjusted the levels in Photoshop.
Since I’ve been so very taken with ink wash of late, I want to show the progression of a highly referenced ink wash piece. For subject matter, I have used an Endoskeleton.
I apply lighter tones to the penciled drawing. This is the first few photos.
Then I add dark grays.
Then black, and I adjusted the levels in photoshop.
Then a color layer in PS
And some gradients to render the Endoskeleton a little more.
