We鈥檝e done our best in the Cleanup Department to emulate it, to capture its essence, while not being able to duplicate it precisely. - Christine Lawrence-Finney from Lilo & Stitch: Collected Stories from the Film鈥檚 Creators.聽
Hey everyone! I'm alive (no foolin'!) -- I'm just super busy finishing up some big projects. Here's a little preview of one of them: a solo gallery show opening this summer at Nucleus Portland! More details to come soon, but I hope you've all been well (and apologizes to the people I owe replies to, I've been bad about checking messages 馃槄)
This illustration is called Jail Break and as you can see it starts with a mess of lines, plotting a map of the character, setting the mood, blocking in color, then adding shadows/highlights/detailing.
Each step takes patience and sometimes the ability to see into the near future (as in this will work! I can envision it! Oo! I鈥檒l add this too!)
Most importantly, it takes the joy of creation and the forgiveness to your ego. (Don鈥檛 beat your artist self up, more likely than not, it won鈥檛 turn out EXACTLY as you pictured it!)
