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.
