I thought I’d show a little bit of the process that goes into creating my illsutrations. Here’s what went into creating the Zombie Derby piece. You can click on any of the images to see a larger version.

Here’s the initial sketch. Just a quick layout of the characters, setting and shape.

The second stage consists of me tightening everything up. Fixing a angles, anatomy, and perspective.

In the next part, I start laying out tones and shadows.

And here I start inking the piece. This part of the process probably takes up the most time. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I tend to redo parts many times over (You might notice that I adjusted the lead girl’s foot a bit).

And once the inking is done I start on the coloring process. I’m really bad about doing color mockups before I get to this point, but luckily modern technology allows me to experiment with various color treatments relatively easily.

And after a few more hours of tweaking and re-drawing, it’s done!
