From Sketch to Finish

I had most of the steps in the process for this illustration, so I thought it might be nice to throw up a step-by-step.

One of our first assignments in Narrative Sketchbook class in my senior year was the toy muses project. We picked two little toys from a large pile of dollar store and garage sale refugees, and then had to imagine a premise to illustrate.

Unfortunately I’ve lost a big part of the process — brainstorming sketches. I think we had to come up with around 3 different ideas. I ended up picking the Tarzan-esque story, where hunters come across a boy raised by leopards.

That selected sketch was brought into Photoshop where I tried to fix the scale, and composition and did a quick color mock-up. In crit we decided that the narrative wasn’t clear enough on its own, so I changed the scenario to be a more straightforward protagonist vs. antagonist situation.

Then came the lineart (crow quill, india ink, pencil, and watercolor paper), some liquid acrylics, and a big photoshop makeover.

The end result isn’t as spick-and-span as I’d like it to be, but I got to experiment with a new media (liquid acrylics), and I learned a lot about the intricacies of storytelling with images. :)
