ask the artist :DAN HARDING

Did you prefer Monster of the Week orMytharc episodes?

Definitely Monster of the Week.

Who was your favorite character to draw?

The Flukeman. All the detail in that make-up job is soimpressive, and it made drawing him a blast.

What mediums did you use for your cards?

Marker and colored pencil.

Tell us a little about your process.I definitely wanted to use photo reference to keepeverything as close to the show as possible. I tried to

find the coolest images or most dramatic and sketchthose onto the cards. Id then get everything lined andblocked in with marker, and after that I get the colorin there. Usually quite a few layers of colored pencil toget the look just right, or at least as close as possible.Thats about it.
