I almost always start with an idea or concept -- then research it. Next come the rough sketches. Generally I'll work with traditional pencil on paper. If working in digital format,I scan the rough. Then I use various virtual art tools to apply color, line, texture. Sometimes this will be the final original. More often, the piece speaks to me, telling me to add more or to remove weak parts or adjust in various ways to make the art become strong." Frequently one art piece or concept will spin off to become a series. I recommend all artists keep notebooks or scratchpads. When you get an idea, honor it by recording it. I have been keeping notebooks for many years. I was drawing detailed pictures at four, before I could write. The muse visits those who appreciate what they are given to illustrate. Don't be afraid to experiment.
