The Process
Concept Design
First I start out with pencil sketches and thumbnails to get the idea down on paper. Then I bring it to digital media, sketching it again. Once I find a design that works to a reasonable degree, I start to develop the composition and design in values. This is where issues usually arise, so I often have to return to the pencil sketches to make corrections.
Then I start to gather references. This takes time as you start to learn if what you have conjured up makes sense or not. It is often back to the drawing “thumbnail” board again. Once I have done all that, I start by drawing the proportions, the lines, and where everything goes.
Color comes in only at the end. It’s a funny process; a bit like putting a blade through an anvil. The artwork is the product that survives this whole process. Some images make it and some do not. I aim to keep the image fresh and true to what I saw in my mind’s eye at the beginning even while finishing it.
