Thinking about how my Tumblr could be different from my other social media accounts, I figured it might be fun to show more of my process. So here we go…

1. It all starts with a rough sketch, mostly trying to get my idea out as quickly as possible. I work in Sketchbook Pro.

2. Next, I tightened up the figure and worked on adding more detail.

3. I digitally inked the figure (in Sketchbook Pro) and filled in the black shadows. Spidey’s webbing isn’t final yet.

4. At this point I added some flat color and did a quick background test. Overall I was happy with the figure but not the background…

5. So I went into Adobe Animate (Flash) to flesh out the background better. I animate in Adobe all the time, so I’m very comfortable with the program and line tool feature.

6. Here are the final background lines from Adobe Animate.

7. I bring both the background from Animate and the figure from Sketchbook into Adobe Photoshop for what I though would be the final line art.

8. I colored it in Photoshop, then decided the webbing on Spidey’s costume was a bit too much…

9. So I went back and simplified the webbing for the final. It’s subtle, and most don’t even notice it, but I do. I also adjusted the color a bit and added some filter effects.

Guess I’ll start here with my favorite drawing of my favorite character, Spider-Man! Drew this last year and still dig it.
