Description
Here's a before-and-after comparison of the detail to my book cover.[link]
I drew the piece with PITT pens and COPIC markers on Strathmore Drawing paper, scanned it, and colorized it using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
A few people have asked me to show what changes from grayscale lineart to final color, and hopefully this shows what the process entails.

One day I will still reach this very high level of anatomical perfection and artistic plasticity. You're the guy Adam !!!

Markers are such interesting things... I never really got familiar with them. I always think they are so hard to use!

Thought of Audrey Hepburn too.
The coloured one looks so much smoother. I like that very much.

Up close the facial features; eyes and mouth- kind of reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn!
Your skin tones are amazing!

I always love the touch of the red goggles mixed with the all black. Not all designs of her are like that. Good job!

Beautiful! Looks like she'd sing a slinky version of 'Moon River'. Is the coloring done using Multiply or what?

Oops..I guess I should have looked at more of your wonderful work before I commented. I love that you actually used Audrey Hepburns incomparably beautiful face for inspiration for your version of Catwoman!

Huntan-Peck [2011-07-07 10:03:10 +0000 UTC]
As others have noted, this lovely lady is very reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. Would love to see more of your work using these facial features.

Your art is awe inspiring! I sometimes think that because you are famous you probably hear that enough but it simply has to be said. I am just learning to work with copics and I can only dream to be half this good. You are an inspiration for artists everywhere.

Very "Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina....in a cat suit". I find it quite refreshing.

So the face is used with warm grays while the outfit is neutral grays?

there's a way that you draw some things that makes them look like old fashioned 50's ads. i like it

That's a wonderful compliment, thank you. The 50s was the end of the golden age of American illustration.
