Many people are surprised when I tell them that I work on my compositions and the individual elements of the illustration only in grey scale (black and white) before I take the step of adding color and lighting.
I love this part of the process!
I’ve developed a few custom #adobe photoshop brushes that feel and act like charcoal pencils.
Old school/art school!
Happy Friday!

Another “from the drawing board to the book” post.
This one did not change very much at all from thumbnail to finish.
Even the text was pretty direct. From the get-go I knew that I wanted a page pause/punch line with something simple like “He was very good at his job”
