My Creative Process

I study my reference to mentally draw the image.
My drawing process can begin with freehand sketches, and includes color analysis and color pencil swatches.

I apply color theory to blend pigments, adjust values and chroma, and select pencils. Layering with fewer pencils becomes easier with practice. A simple line drawing provides freedom to paint what I see.

I allow the art to develop intuitively. Starting with solid sketches, a value map, and color swatches, I trust the art to guide me.
