JOHNSTOWN MAGAZINE COVER


From preliminary sketch to finished cover, here's how the Johnstown Magazine cover came to be. After picking from a couple sketches of my character, The Johnstowner, I went with this design.


After the initial loose pencil image was approved, I went into the inking stage....
















After that, I did the coloring using more of an old school flat coloring style.

Then, I sent it off to the talented Kim Williams who used her graphic design skills to set the logo and lettering. And there you have it...


JOHNSTOWN MAGAZINE

The January issue of the JOHNSTOWN MAGAZINE has an article on local comic book artists and cartoonists. (If you're a subscriber you should already have it) If not, it will be hitting stands on about December 31. Until then, you can check out www.johnstownmag.com/current for a snippet.

Once the issue is released I'll be posting the step by step pencils to color version of the cover I did.
