01 Discovery

I start by getting to know you, your business, and your illustration needs. Together, we outline the project scope, process, timeline, and budget. Once we're aligned, we begin.

02 Exploration & Ideation

We research, gather inspiration, and explore various styles. We discuss different approaches and experiment with visual elements to see how they can best convey your story.

03 Concept Development

Ideas are sketched out in rough drafts. I brainstorm and refine these initial concepts, evaluating and iterating until we have a solid direction that resonates with your vision.

04 Script (If Needed)

If the illustration is part of a larger narrative or includes textual elements, I develop a compelling script that aligns with the visual style and connects with your audience.

05 Thumbnail Sketches

I create small, preliminary sketches to map out the composition and layout of the illustration. These thumbnails help visualize the overall structure and make quick adjustments.

06 Detailed Sketches

Building on the thumbnails, I create detailed sketches that outline the finer points of the illustration. This stage allows us to focus on the specifics and ensure every element is in place.

07 Color Palette Selection

I chose a color palette that enhances the mood and message of the illustration. This involves experimenting with different color schemes to find the perfect match for your story.

08 Final Drawing

Using the detailed sketches as a guide, I create the final drawing. This step involves adding intricate details and ensuring that the illustration is polished and visually cohesive.

09 Adding Color

I apply the chosen color palette to the final drawing. This step brings the illustration to life, adding depth and vibrancy to the visual elements.

I fine-tune the illustration, making any necessary adjustments to ensure it meets the highest standards. Once complete, we review the final piece with you to ensure it aligns with your vision and expectations.
