About Me
General Information
The Illustrator:
I am primarly an illustrator with a wide range of illustration styles that vary from cartoon to realistic. I am proficient in Digital and Mixed Media Illustration as well as Traditional Illustration.
My process for creating an illustration usually goes in this order:
- thumbnail sketches (quick and dirty, this is the idea stage)
- rough sketches (molding and enhancing the idea)
- finished pencil drawing (the idea envisioned, (note: the final changes to the design are made here))
- pen/brush and ink (this stage can and usually is mixed with creating tones and gradiations using pencil)
- scan in the art and clean it up (adjust contrast, fix mistakes and blemishes, etc.)
- digitally color it in Photoshop (if needed)
- present it to the client!
- smile and move on to the next illustration
