Your art tools?

[Omega Flight]

Hi Alex I wanted to ask you a question. Me and my aunt who's an artist were looking at comic art that I was showing her and we came upon yours and she fell in love with it and asked me a bunch of questions I figured needed answering.

In that working process thread thread you did showcasing the Nova covers what did you use for those ones with the Silver Surfer? Were they charcoal and ink? And how long does it usually take for you to do a cover like that. Thanks in advance Alex my aunt'll love this and anything else you can throw in would be great too.

You mean penciled and inked? Or just pencil?

penciled and inked.

Do you use Photoshop or Painter? I've messed around with both and am still not sure what I like best. Photshop is extremely versatile but its much easier to work with various textures in Painter, since it automatically emulates like 47 million different natural media.
