Process

I start by drawing objects in the position I want them to be on the paper. My process includes a lot of erasing and redrawing of my original observations. I will wait until I have got a preliminary idea of the structure until I begin filling in the outlines of the objects. Finally, I will think about the small details, textures, and depth. This will be my last goal that I have set out in order to finish the drawing.

Progress

In order to evolve as an artist I utilize concepting to ensure a more purposeful compositional result. Sometimes creating three or four concepts before beginning the final peice, I find in this preparedness that the final work is more successful. Also, challenging myself with different mediums transforms my original concepts into something that is totally new.
