Here I wanted to demonstrate my typical process for an illustration. I typically like to start with a quick word list that later help me visualize varying compositions for thumbnails. Sometimes I like to sketch traditionally with pencil then pull out my light table and make a second final sketch with pen. From there I scan in my work and put in general shapes to begin the color palette process, usually I like to give three our four choices. The last step in the process in completing the illustration of course!
