Luxura Sketchcard Process

Okay, so last time I promised an update on my sketch card stuff. The problem is that I'm knee deep into actually WORKING on them right now, so I'll just give you a peek at the process(for now).

I am working on Kirk Lindo's Vampiress Luxura Sword of the Apocalypse set for The Sketch Card Studio. I am doing 30 cards which will be a black and white and BLOOD RED subset. The majority, if not all the other, sketch cards will be full color, so mine will be easy to spot if you get one in your pack. Once I scan them, I will post them in my gallery and in my deviantart gallery.

First thing I do is sketch out a pose I like and set the basics for the card. I use a Pentel "Champ" .5mm mechanical pencil with grip.

Then I hit some inks on it while tweaking the image a bit here and there, cleaning things up and erasing the pencil lines with a Pentel Hi Polymer eraser. I use a Sharpie fine point and a Micron .005 pen for this stage.

Last thing is to add the tones with marker. I've been using a set of Bic fine point "Mark it" brand. For the Luxura set, I've only used gray, red, and pink. Then I hit some highlights and clean things up with an opaque white Sakura Gelly Roll Medium pen.
