THE CREATION PROCESS:


    


I always work with photos.  I take measurements several times as I draw to ensure that my scale and proportions are correct to the photograph.

No matter what the final piece will be - even in creating a web page or greeting card - a free-hand pencil sketch is always the first

step.  A sketch is important because it can be easily changed before the final step.

When I add color - I transfer my original sketch to my work paper.  It's in the "coloring process" that I've noticed the portrait can take on a life of its own and evolve into something unplanned, yet wonderful.
