Description number 244

ok so you might not know it but i am a big comicbook fan for over 20 years.

i always dreamed about having original covers or comicbook art.
sadly due to the high prices original art is still out of reach for me.........
and well prints just dont have that special feel if you ask me.


so i have decided to draw the stuff i like.
none of it will be for sale due to copyrights etc.
i am only drawing the covers for my own pleasure not for any commercial gain.

this cover is from

The Shadow #1 original art cover by Michael Kaluta

i have drawn this one completely with copic markers and copic liners

i have tried to stay as accurate to the original as possible.

copyrights for this drawing belong to me.
copyrights to the original concept/drawing and character belong to the rightful owners

the hardest part is to stay as close to the original drawing as possible. All those buildings etc are build up by many little lines.

To keep to overall look of the drawing just like the original That is the hardest part.

As i said i am making those covers because i would have loved to own the original artwork...and since idont have funds to buy original art i just draw them myself.
But it means that i cannot give it my own spin. I need to stay close to the original
