Illustration process breakdown

Exhibition tomorrow night, 6:30pm Charlestown Arts Centre.

This is an example of the steps that went into making the images for the exhibition, with the one exception here that I did the rough sketch (step 2) in Photoshop (for all the others I used two coloured pencils or a 2h pencil) The pencil stage (step 3)is usually covered by the inking, but for this I wanted to tweak the printed rough sketch before transferring it to the blending card (the high quality paper I use for the copics).

Step 1: thumbnail (quick planning stage).
Step 2: laying it all out rough.
Step 3: clean up
Step 4: inking (and adding colours)
