I love reading of and looking at different people's creative processes. I LOVE to seen how every body's brain works in a different manner and how their process influence their work. When I draw I almost always start with a VERY rough thumbnail. It helps me pin down the ideas that float around inside me head and try out different possibilities without worrying about how its looking. These drawings I do on any scrap of paper that has the misfortune of crossing my path at that moment, most often pieces of scrap paper doing the rounds on my desk at the office. I also lose these drawings almost as soon as I am done with them. (I should do it in a sketchbook, but I hate having to page around to find what I'm looking for, if they are on bits of paper I can spread them around me when I start the final drawing).
Here is the first rough thumbnail I did for the Parade prompt on Illustration Friday
And here is the finished drawing........miles apart hmn!!

It's always nice to see an artist's process.
ReplyDeleteI looked up "Moomin" and yes, the Burtopotamus DOES give a Moomins feel, hahaha. Thanks for checking out my stuff!
