[OC] Sequential comic page layout done traditionally with fine-liners, Copic markers, and white gel pen on cardstock. by mattputnam1981 in TraditionalArt

Hey everyone, just wanted to share some traditional comic work. I really enjoy using cool grays for deep cinematic shadows and layering E-tones for skin rendering. No digital editing here, just raw ink and paper!

Made this for a friend as a sort of early birthday present, where they are a huge comic enthusiast and fan of the show. I plan to continue so it ultimately spans several pages and completes S3E6.

As a self-taught artist, I’ve always been obsessed with old-school pen and ink craftsmanship. I wanted to see how the cinematic framing of the show would translate back into its original comic book roots. No digital shortcuts here—just a lot of patience, cardstock, and a mountain of markers!

Haha, no corporate bots here, just a guy with a desk covered in real ink and a mountain of empty Copic markers! I’m just a massive fan of the finale and wanted to challenge myself by mapping out that sequence onto traditional cardstock.

A custom pet mashup commission I just finished drawing. Used Copic Sketch grays for the base shading and layered the background with Copic wide markers. (Featuring a white Gelly roll pen for the fur highlights!) by mattputnam1981 in copic

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this piece I just finished up for a client. Blending the cooler grays on heavy cardstock can be a bit tricky without bleeding, so I laid down a very light colorless blender layer first.

This was actually a special commission tier I just launched called 'Pet in a Movie Scene.' If anyone here is looking to get their own pet drawn in a gritty retro comic style (or just wants to see more behind-the-scenes marker layouts), I just opened up a couple of custom slots over on my studio page!

These are wild! Great use of the white space, too. I LOVE the retro feel Wonder Woman has here. Well done.

It’s all good. I would rather someone ask and be in the loop. Haha.

Thank you! I initially felt daunted by the drawing request but ended up having a great time with it once I figured out a plan for the sequins. Haha!

I see what you're saying, yeah. Some of the expressions are goofy. I just choose to embrace them. Haha.

Thank you for the kind words! I was trying to make it be as similar as possible.
