Captain Britain 40th Costume Art by Mark Farbrother

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of Captain Britain. This is a piece of art I did for 'Avengers UK', a fan based free Facebook comic. This piece is actually three pieces of A3 paper joined together to make one continuous piece of art showcasing every major Captain Britain uniform/costume. I used Alan Davis' original omnibus art as a base and adapted each piece to showcase each costume, with the exception of the MI:13 one drawn by Stuart Immonen.

Drawn on A3 (x3) Daler Rowney 300gsm Aquafine smooth watercolour paper, using Uni-Pin Fine line pens 0.05 - 0.8, Winsor & Newton Black Drawing Ink, and a white Signo Gel pen.

Shar Pei

This is 'Buddy' a Shar Pei dog, which was requested by a friend of mine. He looks so full of character.

Drawn on A4 220gsm Winsor and Newton smooth cartridge paper, using predominantly a 0.05 Uni-Pin Fineline pen, with a slight bit of depth added using a 0.1 Fineline pen.
