zurdo molina portfolio skip to main skip to sidebar zurdo molina portfolio home about posts rss comments rss contact log in ultimate spiderman cover process 2 once the final image was chosen i used photoshop to create a cleaner version of the sketch because of my tight deadline i decided to do the entire cover digitally as opposed to using the traditional method of penciling next i put the flats on the image to give definition to the characters once the flats were finished i layed down a quick composition for the background at this point i already knew my light sources global lighting and back light and attempted to create a sunset background with multiplying mode i start adding shadows to the characters i started adding light with a regular hard edge brush with 75 opacity and 25 flow and adding a regular layer on top of my shadows once i had a general idea of my lights and shadows i compressed the file separating the characters on one layer and the background on another i began focusing on just the characters i used a hard brush over the entire character image polishing their features and removing all pencil traces then i began to polish the background elements adding some texture as well for my final image i finished polishing the edges and added a few details such as the illumination and glow of the suit and web after finishing i sent the cover to the editors who decided they prefered spiderman s mask on in order to maintain mystery in the character to see more exclusive artwork follow me on twitter jorge_molinam ultimate spiderman cover process the editors at marvel comics requested that the next cover of ultimate spiderman be spiderman fighting prowler using just photoshop i started with these two sketches focusing solely on the composition without going into details the editors chose the close up because it added more drama to the scene x men 28 free time x men 25 preview here is a little sneak peek at x men 25 writing by victor gischler illustrated by me coming out this february make sure to check it out x men 27 process these are the two composition sketches i did for the marvel editors the concept i was given was to the depict the x men surrounded by assassins the image on the right was the first concept i nailed but the second one was the best choice since it s a much tightened shot and has more sense of danger both of these images where done in a photoshop cs5 with the cintiq i feel very comfortable doing the initial sketches since its easier to edit when needed at these point i keep polishing the sketch till i get to the level of detail that i want i already know that i don t want any shadows in the image all i want is to play around with line work and leave all the shading to the colors again all these is done with the cintiq and i really don t put any attention to the line quality of my work all i look for is to have the composition and the details i need to polish the image on the next step then i print out the image above and trace it with the light table using h pencils and 11 x 17 bristol board then i ink the pencils using staedtler stylographs and a couple of brushes all i focus in this stage is to have smooth lines and a good linework then i scan the image back to the computer at 300 dpi on grayscale and use the levels on the photoshop to clean the image once the levels are fixed i add a multiply layer to start laying the flats this is the most boring part of the coloring process but is the most important since its the foundation of the image i use a regular hard edge brush with 100 opacity and flow to cover all the areas i tend to flat my character a one layer and my background elements on another for easer editing in the future then i do a selection of the flats holding the ctrl button and clicking on the layer this will select the entire layer so i can add another multiply layer and add a shadow tone for all my characters this time i went for a green gray shadow tone i didn t want to use a lot of contrast on my characters so i added 2 layer of shadows on multiply but lowering the opacity those ayers to have subtle shadows this process i do it with a customized brush that has a bit of texture with 70 opacity and 25 flow then i start using lights just by adding layers on top on regular mode since i wanted smooth transitions i didn t do a lot of mixing on light tones i pretty much staid on the same tone values just by picking lighter colors and lowering my opacity on the layers since i have two lights sources one coming for the window an the other one for inside of the complex i add a hard edge light on the back of my characters this is a very helpfully lights since it makes the main characters pop the second light is more subtle and helps to give volume to the characters once i go trough all my lighting steps usually using 3 layers of light i merge all my colors leaving linework separated this way i can polish the colors without disturbing the lines at this point i already have my color plate so it s all about adding details and polishing the image after polishing all the details i star adding effects like glows and glares by using layers on lighten mode and overlay also using textures on a overlay mode with very low opacity on the layer once y merge all the layers i do a color correction with the ctrl u untill i get a color balance i m satisfied with
