Fairy king - Process WIP
🕑 Added 2020-07-29 09:41:29 +0000 UTCI am planning two complicated fantasy illustrations. One is my own idea, and the second one is for a Gay fantasy novel book cover commission.
So I'm sharing the process of how I come up with ideas, since you guys asked for more backstage.
It's not fandom based, but I hope it might be interesting for you to watch how big and complicated illustrations come to life.
Here I work with the basic composition thumbnail, very roughly nrushing in the values and the main idea. I had other ideas tried out but they didn't work well for me so this is the one I believed to have some potential.
Then I make a first sketch with very basic anatomy and shapes to define what is going to be the subjects of the painting and the story.
Then goes a slightly better and finer sketch but is is definitely still a sketch. Not clothes yet, not details of the background. But now I have something much better structured to work with on my next step which I will show you soon.
