Birds of Prey--The Gatefold

In the last issue of the Birds of Prey comics I was binding, there is a beautiful four-page spread. These four pages naturally fold in half, creating a gatefold. This acts as a set of double doors, which you open to the four-page spread. But then I had two white pages that needed some adornment. The following is the process of putting that together.

The sketch:
From left to right: Helena (Huntress), Zinda (Lady Blackhawk), Dinah (Black Canary).

Then I drew Helena and Dinah on sketch paper, colored them, cut them out, and pasted them onto brown paper.

Now to add Zinda.


It's Zinda!

And the final result.



Voila. Decorated gatefold.
