First of many posts. I'll start off with an example of how i like to work.
Well, firstly, it starts in my head, if i can't see the image in my head, there is no point in even starting, because it just isn't going to materialise.
I will usually have a basic idea and over a couple of days the image will just build up.
1. I'll start of with basic shapes
2. Flesh everything out
3. Add detail
4. Lastly, reduce detail.
Your probably asking yourself why am i adding detail, then removing detail. When i add detail the first time, it is usually too much, the illustration becomes cluttered and messy and distracting for the viewer. By removing details, i can draw focus to what i want.
Why not do that in the first place?It's nice to have options and i find it easier to work this way.
This is what something looks like at step 3.
After removing detail, i'm left with this.
