Work stages on a POISON IVY & HARLEY QUINN charity piece!
🕑 Added 2020-05-07 13:01:01 +0000 UTCAbove is a Harley & Ivy piece I drew in my limited-color, 11" X 14" con sketch format to benefit the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC) charity, which supports small booksellers in need—including, notably, comic-book retailers. The commission netted a handsome $475 to BINC, I'm pleased to report.
A few words (assuming, that is, I get the time to add some before this post goes up tomorrow):
Branched out—ha ha!—from my usual red and blue colored pencils to add a rather violent neon green cribbed from my grand-nephew's "kid's art starter set" dealie.
Next up, the grayscale version of the piece, scanned by accident when I hit the wrong button on Epson Scan, but saved because I thought it looked interesting:
The initial rough was sketched as a wee thumbnail:
...then cropped and tinkered-with in Photoshop (changed Ivy's figure proportions, etc.), though alas I didn't save the corrections before printing out the modified rough and transferring it to the Bristol:
Next up, a phone pic of the tightened-up H-lead underdrawing:
TBH, I overuse that leg pose seen on Ivy, but f**k it, the g-d riff works and I don't really give a crap if anyone finds it repetitive.
Finally, an in-progress shot of the Sharpie-marker inks, showing two different approaches to inking the tree bark:
That's the blown-up, printed-out rough masking off the center of the pic. If you look closely enough at it, you can see the white lines indicating where I enlarged parts of the Ivy figure in Photoshop.
And that's it, folks! A strong piece, if I do say so myself.
Tomorrow on this here Patreon (where's my g-d BOLD FONT option, Patreon?): Probably another update on Party of Two, including s'more story roughs and work stages on that TikTok dance piece I posted on social this week.

I love this!! The colors (Harley's hair!!) and composition are great. Excellent work for the charity!

This is a really fun pin-up with these two -- it's neat that you got a chance to work on them between the other projects!

Poison Ivy looking a bit less willowy (haha) than she usually does. Not that that's bad, though!

Absolutely gorgeous piece. So glad it was able to raise so much for such a good cause. Thank you SO much for sharing the process. That is legit my favorite thing to see from artists who inspire me, and you consistently deliver on that with this Patreon. Keep up the amazing work, sir! I appreciate it!

You read my mind somehow. I have wondered how you'd draw these two.
