    Gabriele, many thanks for stopping by and dropping a line. I appreciate that very, very much.

    Faboun'e, :) I'm happy to hear that you like the rough samples. Big thanks!

    Matt, Steve! :)) THANK YOU

    Hi Flaviano, I always do the colour palette before colouring. And yes, I use a multiply top layer for the shadows. BTW, the crow's suit was inspired by Steve McQueen's racing suit ("Le Mans", 1971). Cheers!

    Bryst :)!

  7. I just found your blog and I must say I'm very inspired. I'm interested to know more about the pencil you use to do your cleanup work. (Faber Castell TK 4600 with 2mm HB lead)

    From all the pictures I've seen of it on your blog it looks blunt ended or maybe sharpened to a wedge?

    I'd love to read a more technical explanation about you work including how you sharpen your pencil!
