The Ruins of Antwerp

November 05, 2018

Using the light table to compose this splash panel showing the devastation of Hitler’s V2 rockets on the city of Antwerp. I tend to do this kind of layering/tracing for more complex scenes, as it helps me avoid feeling overwhelmed by all the details. I can draw a building, throw it on the light table, then superimpose some figures. And then for the final inks, I’ll either trace out the whole panel in non-photo blue pencil and ink, or else if I’m feeling spry I’ll just ink at the light table.
