Lone Wolf & Cub Process

This is my second contribution to the awesome sketch blog Spitballin' Comics, and I was given the privilege of choosing this weeks theme: Lone Wolf & Cub.

I've been looking for an excuse to draw these characters for a while. Today's stormy weather felt wholly appropriate draw Itto and his boy, since where ever they go carnage rains.

Here's a bit of my process. I was greatly inspired by the truly excellent work of artist Kagan McLeod and tried to internalize his use of brush and vibrant colours while working on this piece. By the way, if you haven't rad Kagan's magnum opus, Infinite Kung-Fu, do yourself a huge favour and pick up a copy. I can't say enough great things about.

Anyway, this blog is about me. Me! So have a look at the following before moving on to Spitballin' Comics to see the finished piece!...
