My Process
I like to draw the image first in pencil and make a lot of marks until at least the majority of the important marks are there. I rarely erase.
Sometimes I work from an image but often I just draw what comes to my mind.
If I wish to continue the work as a drawing only, I will typically just draw over that in ink. I might paint or marker over it then.
If I want a clean finished painting, I will take the original drawing and use that as a template to redraw it or even trace it in very light pencil or impression onto the paper or canvas I wish to complete the final product on. Then I paint!
I like to work rather quickly and don’t mind if things aren’t ‘perfect.’ I work with it as I go and adjust. I use all different size brushes and the water amount just depends on what kind of finish I’m looking for.
