Cornish Crafty Crabs! From sketches to painting.

Cornish Crafty Crabs! From sketches to painting.

This is stage one. I work straight from the Wacom tablet onto the computer to  quickly capture the idea spending as little time on finishing as possible, just to make sure the picture works as a whole.

By stage two I have worked out in my head the gaps and details I need to fill and with pencil and paper, draw all the elements I want in the image. 

Then in stage four I scan each element into the computer and separate them so I can move the around like 'fuzzy felts' until the composition is right.

Then I paint the image in the computer and there you have it. These images take between 3-5 days to complete.
