All of my designs start with the need to sketch. Being a man who is either lost in the woods or lost within my own head, sketching seems to help me find peace no matter what the situation!
Just like a wanderer, I do not normally start a sketch knowing its outcome. My goals while sketching are to create simply surreal iconic designs.
Inking my designs take forever, but I love it! It forces me to slow down and focus on my meticulous linework....a meditation of sorts.
Once inked, I scan my drawings and edit them in Adobe Illustrator. When editing, I focus mainly on color concepts and line refinement.
