It all starts with a mood...maybe a muse...a vibe...the energy! What inspires me at the moment? Who inspires me at the moment? How happy am I? How depressed do I feel? Well, that changes day to day!
It starts with a doodle. I guarantee you it won't be clean or pretty. Just a quick sketch in pen or blocking out the shape in Copic marker first, then doing line work. I seldom use pencil. I love drawing in small spiral notebooks & sketchbooks. It all just depends on the moment.
Some drawings I'll sit & retrace over & over just for fun, changing things until I have the whole thing down.
I always scan the drawing to my computer, put it into Adobe Illustrator & use my drawing tablet to trace my work, make clean vector lines, color, shade & add detail in the end!
It's a process & I wouldn't do it any other way. I love hoarding art supplies & I love drawing on the computer. It's the best of both worlds!
