Workflow

My bold drawing style lends itself to vector art, and a digital workflow is best for my clients, who often need art that is scalable and easily modified for use in color or in black and white.

I like to kick off a project with a phone call so we can sort out the initial details quickly and see where the conversation takes us.

I will need to know:

• The illustration and/or design needs (subject matter, style, number of images)
• Size and file format specifications for the artwork
• What business entity(ies) will be using and paying for the artwork
• The deadline

With this information I can create a project-based estimate and a timeline to guide us through production.

I break production into several checkpoints for client review and ask that all decision-makers be involved in each step. This keeps me aligned with the clients’ expectations and avoids late-stage revisions and delays.

My typical workflow looks like this:

• Concept sketches
• Refined sketches
• Proposed color palette if needed
• Digital line art
• Refined digital line art
• Color added to digital line art if needed
