Who is that mysterious masked figure on the rooftops?

Pencil stage from upcoming Hangman Issue # 2

How did he get to be up on on this roof?

The how and why behind his presence on the roof remains unanswered... But for now...

First, a rough pass is done using a Faber Castell Phthalo Blue pencil.

Next, the rough HB Staedtler lead pass is made with indications of some of the major tonal ranges.

Later, inking is done with various Artline pens.
