INKING!

I've printed out the rough sketch you saw on Step 2 onto 11 x 17 in paper (which is called Tabloid Paper). While I was at the print shop, I bought a big ream of blank Tabloid Paper and took everything home to my drafting table and light pad.

I tape one of the blank pieces of 11x17 over the printed sketch of my page, turn on my light pad, and get to work rendering everything!

I don't use a lot of fancy materials - usually just what's within arm's reach. Here, it's just a little BIC pen. I like these pens because they give me these nice, fine lines and I can usually control the value that's put down.

There's also a Grid Ruler that is just about the GREATEST THING EVER for making sure your lines are parallel or just perpendicular for each other, which is great for pages like this one with some weird perspectives.
