Captain Hook Sketch Card

This is the original marker illustration for the Captain Hook trading card, created for the upcoming Peter Pan trading card set by Master Piece Cards.

The piece leans heavily into J.M. Barrie's original, darker literary description of the character focusing on his cadaverous features, sharp curled mustache, and aristocratic malice. The art was executed with markers, focusing on deep, layered monochromatic blues to build a heavy, rain-drenched maritime atmosphere. A stark, high-contrast white lightning bolt cuts through the background, serving as the primary light source to illuminate the wet fabric of his tricorn hat and reflect off the polished, dangerous curve of his iconic iron hook.
