COMMUNICATION
FROM SKETCHES TO
FULL COLOUR
I usually like to start out with getting the over all essence of form, queuing in on the placement of curves, and darkening features that I'd want to focus detail on.
From then one, layer by layer, the art piece reveals itself. Try using the scroll tool to see how the sketch translates into the final art work.

ILLUSTRATIONS
In some situations, observational drawings are done while viewing preserved specimen instead of live animals.
In this case, it is up to the artist to interpret form that is absent in the preserved model.
