X-Statix Girls with Doop [Pencils: Kevin Newburn] Inks and Flats

Well I started this some time ago in PSP X2 but recently redid the inks completely in Sai. Following the pencils of my old friend Kevin Newburn [link] whose work you can find at both that link and also at [link] I always enjoy working on Kev’s stuff, his style just appeals to me. x-statix is of course [...]

Rise of the Sentinels (Artwork: Kevin Newburn) Colored

Rusty Iron Sentinel Kev Newburn

Well this is an oldie. I originally started coloring this way way WAY back in 2003 but was never happy with the results. I tried again towards the end of 2004 and again was less than satisfied with the progress. I decided to give it another go because I felt it could be a very [...]

3979kevnewburn_phoenixmax

Another of Kev’s drawings, colored in PSPX2. Many layers and effects in this one. I especially liked what is happing with the background – the universe in flames almost. very fitting for this character. The only thing I think I could have done better is more shadows on the sash blowing in front of her [...]

Dawn (Art: Kevin Newburn) Colored

newbachu-dawn

This drawing came up on the random image box over at Heromorph. I figured I hadn’t colored one of Kev’s images in a bit so here it is. Background is made of many layers including the skulls used on the dress/bodice layer – which in itself was a lot of pasting, rotating and distortion to [...]

Another finally finished WIP. This started out life as a rough head and shoulders sketch by Kev, I inked over it using vector paths and then converted them to raster to cut them into tapering lines. The colouring is done with multiple screen and overlay layers. Started in PSP 8 finished in PSP X2

knewburnspygirlhi

Well I have had the pleasure of coloring Kev’s work before and so I thought I would give this a go when he posted it. Hope you don’t mind I took the liberty of flipping it so that I could put the logos on the left. Done using lots and lots of multiply, screen and [...]

Kevin Newburn’s Deadpool – Inked & Colored

kevinnewburn_deadpool

I just love coloring Kev’s work. I think it’s his clean fluid lines. Anyway, I thought this would make a good mock cover for Agent X. The coloring is done in using colorized textures, in this case my favourite leather one. I inked over the sketch using the vector pen. Added some extra detail to [...]

Kevin Newburn’s Daredevil – Inked & Coloured

Kevin Newburn Daredevil

I took the comments on the coloring of Kev’s Hellboy to heart, and decided to do an inking & coloring of his Daredevil image. Done in PSP8 I started out by drawing over his image using the Vector Pen tool in black at 1.5 point to make vector shapes. I used this for the main [...]
