Raw Pencils on 11x17 Bristol Board

Pencils where scanned cleaned and transferred to another 11x17 Bristol Board

I chose to use the same method but without the cleaned pencils. I then inked this version by hand.

You guessed it. These are the scanned and cleaned inks that I have prepared for color.

The cleaned inks where transferred to a traditional 11x17 Bristol comic board and colored with an Acrylic wash.

following!!! <3 amazing skill!!
Gary you are damn amazing!
While I draw art as well it's nothing even in the same league as you.
Thanks for sharing your work with us man. Much appreciated!
@yassinebentour I really have no idea why you would flag this. I can personally attest to no plagiarism occurring (I'm the one that took the verification pic btw) and it in no way constitutes abuse.
I would love to hear your reasoning or if it was an honest mistake. Ty
Constructive criticism: It looks better before being colored because your drawing skills are vastly higher than color theory related stuff.
You draw pretty similar to the guy that draws Berserk except he puts more hatch marks everywhere (to get rid of negative space I guess):
That's not constructive criticism that is your subjective opinion. Further I would suggest you improve your social skills before you start picking fault with other people's work.
I'm not a religious person but this biblical quote springs to mind:
That was actually a very complimentary comment that you made and those of truly artistic temperament value critique, which is always subjective (what else could it be?)
Wow ...you have great talent, i wish i could draw like you!!!
That is amazing!
I'm not an artist, so it's really interesting to run across this post and your process. Do I understand right -- you drew this same image 3 or 4 times over, before you did the final coloring? That's a lot more effort than a non-artist like me thinks artists are doing! I imagine you sitting down and doing this all freehand, just once, maybe with some preliminary sketches. Obviously, I'm an idiot, lol. I love how artists like you are committed, really committed, to each piece of work. You put in so many hours for one final product.
Wow man, amazing art! You are very talented. Check out my blog and my art as well! :)
wow. gorgeous work! @artistgarybedell
Such wonderful drawing skills! I love seeing the process and I'm a big fan of seeing all of that nice blue line work :)
