Bandette panels starring BD Belgique
A couple of panels from Bandette 14! Here I’m refining my rough layouts into finished “pencils” that I will later print onto physical paper and redraw in ink wash. Notice that I use the software to flip the art a lot, so my eye can better see when the characters’ features are asymmetrical.

A Look Under The Hood
Click to enbiggen
Archie Comics’ new Betty & Veronica series ships July 20, with a choice of 25 variant covers, including this one by me! (I think the order date for this title is coming up, so ask your retailer to order you a copy ASAP if you want to be sure to get one in July.)
I didn’t capture a video of the making of this cover, but I was able to put together a process GIF to show off some of the layers of work that went into this piece.
Some of the coloring was done in Photoshop, but the lion’s share of the work in this cover was in Manga Studio 5EX (now called Clip Studio Paint).

Bandette Tough Guy Design Video
Trying to work out this guy’s look. My first go was too young, too handsome, and had too many facial features in common with another tough guy character in Bandette. Second try was much better!

Bandette Character Design Video
Another new character to be introduced in Bandette 14. I decided mid-way through her hairstyle was too similar to that of another character from earlier issues.
Clip Studio Paint (formerly called Manga Studio 5EX–I’m trying to remember to change the name!)
