My Process

A step-by-side review on my art strategy. Everything from the initial concept to the finishing touches are elaborated on here.

Step 1: Find the Subject

For this particular piece, it started with
a photo I took of this green sea
turtle in the Bahamas.

Step 2: Make a Sketch

Making a sketch based off the
original subject ensures
proper proportions.

Step 3: Underpainting

This step differentiates the values,
separating dark and light areas.

Step 4: Add Color

From here, I start filling in basic colors and adding
subtle texture details.

Step 4: Final Touches

After coloring, I add in the finer
details of the subject and
paint in the background.
