Description
Each piece begins with either an inspiring song or scene.
I use photographs, video and some times live models to build a visual reference. The reference is always a combination of at least three sources.
Once I have created reference material, I use it as a guide to draw the figures and scenes. Typically I change the lighting, clothing, hair and even facial features to help express the mood of the image.
Once I have a tight sketch drawn in graphite, I scan it. Then clean up the scan and size it. I take advantage of digital painting techniques such as airbrush to create smooth areas of light and shadow as well as other digital brushes that I have built. The goal is to create a tight under painting. Some of the other brushes I use are heavily textured, while others are smooth and soft. I also blend certain areas together using the same method I use on oil and chalk pastel. Once I have the image to an almost finished state, I print it on to a substrate such as paper or canvas. Finally, I glaze color with oil or acrylic paint as well as markers and colored pencils to add final color and details. Once the image has cured, I varnish the painting to help stabilize and protect all of the different mediums.
Each image is original and unique.
