Birdman, like any evil mastermind, needs an assistant. The little guy's pale eyes are wide open, and his long, bony fingers timidly hold the magic lantern.
I planned this character first in red Nupastel and charcoal on a separate piece of tracing paper.
I then sealed the drawing with workable fixatif and transferred it down to the primed board, using transfer paper that I made with graphite on another piece of tracing paper.
The charcoal step allows me to solve a lot of problems early on when things are easy to change. It's the storytelling stage of picture-making.
