![]() Art tips and techniques, reviews and interviews from my studio. Archived here and at World Famous Comics. Comics 101 for 11/05/2009 Star Wars: Clone Wars Season One Widevision Artist Sketch Cards - Step by Step Here's a look at my technique process of creating my sketch card art for Topps' Star Wars: Clone Wars Season One Widevision Artist Sketch Cards from the blank card to the final illustration. Have a look below - ![]() For the first step I drew a border in ink for each card and then filled the squares of half my cards with a 30% cool grey and 30% warm grey marker base tone (about 50 of each). ![]() In the second step you can see I've begun the pencil art process of drawing the characters. ![]() For the third step I've added a "halo" around each character with a 40% grey marker tone and I fill in the lightsabers with white Prismacolor pencil on every card where needed. ![]() In this step I've begun inking the pencil art with microns, tech pens, sharpies, etc. ![]() For the next part of the process I begin rendering the artwork with more markers (from 30% - 70% grey tones). ![]() Finally, I finish rendering the artwork with more white Prismacolor pencil adding in highlights and details and then going back into the inked line with my tech pens to tighten up the line work again. ![]() Topps's Star Wars: Clone Wars Season One Widevision Trading Cards are shipping this November so feel free to purchase a pack or a box and hopefully you'll come across one of my exclusive hand-drawn artist sketch cards for your collection.
