First we talk about the idea and we will start with the rough thumbnail sketches and composition variations. In the beginning of the process I usually start with the thumbnail sketches to figure out the idea. After that I continue with the composition variations.
Rough SKetch
After overall composition has been selected and approved, I will continue on forward to create the first rough and sketches that match the characters and the idea.
Coloring, Light
Once the sketch is approved, I will continue to figure out the color and light. Where is the main source of the light, what drives mood, what is the type of the impact you want to have on viewer ext. I will put flat colors with no shading.
Render and detailing
Next stage will be finishing and adding final touches to the illustration. Here I will go into fine details and preparing artwork for the final output.
