This is one of my favorite spreads from my Sketchbook Project.
First, I freehanded the patterned background with a Sharpie. Scanned a ballpoint pen sketch, enlarged it, printed, and then glued it into the sketchbook. From there I was able to use my acrylics to work the final magic.
To see some of my work in progress and the cover to the sketchbook, check out my blog:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - best Verne ever. And growing up with Disney's Nautilus and James Mason's moody portrayal of the villain/hero/villain was an amazing inspiration. I drew out my version of the real star of the the story and then added a steam/paddle ship for scale. Then I quickly realized the submarine should be twice the size in comparison.
I reworked the dive suits to have not only a great lobster tail/swim fin for propulsion, but decided a single giant crab claw would come in handy too.
The robot looking thingy with the half sphere wheels might be an interior worker drone or a high risk area (radiation) suit.
The little mono wheel driver and his friend in the lower right corner are completely unrelated to the book but had the occasion to be drawn on the same page ...
I decided to collect all of the sketches and concepts I have been spilling onto the page ... the result being .
