Process

I draw daily in different ways.  The majority of my time is spent on project work for clients and licensing, but always budget a little time for skill-building.

When I approach a client-piece, such as the designs for puzzle companies, I start with sketches and extensive research.  Usually I set out to challenge myself in a new way with each piece.  I do dozens of thumbnails before arriving at the color sketches you see below.    

​

My skill-building work is never ending.  I'll do life studies, anatomy studies, or just watch speed-paints from other illustrators.  I also enjoy purusing through art history books and studying the techniques of the great masters.  The amount to learn is overwhelming and humbling.
