We try to keep our process as simple and
repeatable as possible - it’s always when
you break from the tried and true that
you end up with a painting that is difficult
to make work.
We start with an energetic drawing and
block in local color under it. We have in
mind a basic color harmony - usually an
analogous or complementary - which we
chose based on what we are trying to say
with the illustration.
Tinted shadows get blocked in over the
existing color. We go back and carve
out light and dark shapes to aid with the
composition. The last step end is creating
layers above the drawing to paint out the
lines and define focal points.
