What materials do you primarily use?

I keep it fairly simple. Non-photo blue pencil for rough sketching, a Pentel 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil for most of my penciling. Pentel brush pen, Pilot Precise V7 Fine technical pen, and fine and chisel point Sharpie for inking. Photoshop CS6 for digital colors. These are what I’ve been using of late.

The Summer of Battling Boy Give-Away!

BATTLING BOY POSTERS!

First Second has trusted me to run a series of give-aways and one contest between May and Battling Boy’s release in October. This means you will have a few chances to win posters, prints, galleys (advance reader’s copies of the book) among other things. 

For May, I’m giving away a few Battling Boy posters!

Rules and Guidelines:

1. Like or reblog this post and encourage your followers to do the same. The more your name is in the notes to this post the higher your chances of winning.

2. Make sure you follow Destroy Comics. This is not necessary to winning, but if I decide to check if the winner is following the blog, it will influence my decision.

3. You have two weeks.

Winners will be selected randomly and contacted on the 19th.

Good luck!

I’m doing a give-away for Battling Boy, if any of my followers haven’t gotten into Paul Pope’s work yet!

Keep this moving!

Helloooo, tumblr friends! Reblog this if you are so inclined. That would be awesome! Cheers!

A big thanks to all of you who follow, like, or repost me. Very cool.

Happy FCBD from 4-LOM and myself.
