Drawing Wolverine

Artist, Francis Manapul, shows how he draws Wolverine using the INK & WASH method. Francis did this quick sketch inside his hardcover sketchbook. He's drawn several titles for DC Comics such as Superman/Batman, Legion of Superheroes & The Flash.

Tools used:
1) 2 small paint brushes
2) water
3) ink

Francis begins using a basic outline shape of the body by loosely sketching. Then he wets the brush & dips it in ink. Before applying the brush to paper, he tests dabs it on scratch paper to rub some ink off. Using the Ink & Wash technique allows the artist to use different levels of opacity. This technique was developed by the Chinese hundreds of years ago. It's amazing to see it being used in modern day comics today.
