Any #Bucky fans out there? This is my #Immortal variant cover for #Strikeforce issue 1, out later this month. I wanted to keep a softer look to the faces morphing on this one, so I opted for doing a traditional gouache tonal painting (with a little digital blur) instead of the usual pencil and ink line art (swipe through to see my greyscale painting). I’m not sure who did the digital colours though. #BuckyBarnes #WinterSoldier #CaptainAmerica #Avengers #Gouache #Painting #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/B17AEtmp5A-/?igshid=1dphc9frztl30

#ThrowbackThursday A little something for fans of my old X-Factor cover run. This is an unused cover I pencilled and inked, before the story totally changed direction, and I was asked to do something different. https://www.instagram.com/p/B052O5QJS6D/?igshid=1jtja79hjk6uw

I took another trip down memory lane, to #XFactor investigations last week. #LaylaMiller https://www.instagram.com/p/BvYJF2SFTBm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wgro34fiiadb

So… if #Domino and Longshot were playing a game of dominoes… who would win? 🤔 These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night. 😂 #XForce #XMen #Deadpool #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu9tcpYF3Vp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fri3z2fmyhln

I’ve never read a #BetaRayBill story, but this has to be one of Marvel’s weirdest looking characters. I wonder if he’ll turn up in any of the MCU movies, they definitely hinted at his existence in Thor Ragnarok. #Thor #Marvel #Comics #davidyardin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu73kkUFIWx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gndr3es6buym

It’s always good when I get to revisit #XFactor, and one of my fave characters. 😊 #StrongWomen #InternationalWomensDay #Monet #M #XMen #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/Buyj3x3Fx6T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kulhgf4dx2dm

Here’s the finished #Storm piece, rendered in #CopicMarkers, with some gouache highlights. I like adding some subtle colour to some of my grey marker pieces, it just adds a little extra touch to the art. I really like using #Holbein Artists Gouache for my white effects too. I love the consistency and play of the paint, from opaque to translucent - it’s easy to work with, and get excellent, consistent results. #OroroMunroe #XMen #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/ButIke3FevP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kxxkkajczrw8

These are the process shots of my #QuentinQuire commission (see my previous post for the final image). It's all @copicmarker sketch markers and multi liners (some white @posca_aus specular highlights on the final too). #Xmen #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/Buqx3UVlrSa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zbea9e88sohf

I had a lot of fun with this #QuentinQuire commission. I'll post some process pics soon, if you guys are interested. #Xmen #Marvel #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/BupwwPdFa_8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=168zlbk00t0uw

It always amazes me when people like my art enough, to wear it on their skin forever. Original instagram post by @melise_mp

My second cover for War of the Realms: Uncanny X-Men issue 2! I've been trying to mix a bit more digital into my workflow lately. A lot of my layouts and pencils have been 100% digital lately. I still prefer inking on paper, so I've mostly kept that side traditional, but it's been interesting adding an iPad into my workflow. I'm still not 100% happy with the hardware/software of the iPad, so I do lean a lot more towards my laptop for finished work; I find I have a lot more control on my Cintiq, and more options and versatility in Photoshop. For me however, it is cool to do layouts and even some pencils on the iPad, and Procreate does have some cool default brushes for effects and whatnot too. #Sabretooth #WarOfTheRealms #XMen #Marvel #Cintiq #iPad #Photoshop #procreate #Comics #DavidYardin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1ePHEAAWe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=148bw2kbumr0e

My cover for War of the Realms: Uncanny X-Men #1. I absolutely love drawing the original New Mutants women. ♥ Do you guys have a favourite? Would have been cool to draw Magma in there, and Boom Boom too. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsv3psJlrS6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5c611rxca1hp
