To share my process of combining my fine art paintings into illustrative works, I am showing an example of some of the behind the scenes works I create and how they come together.
Raven Sketch
The sketch process starts out similar to all my works, but in this instance I kept it analog until later in the process.
Raven Scan 1 of 3
This first image is the original scan of my raven painting that I digitally collaged into a poster for my ongoing graphic novel project: “The Field Guide” (working title)
Final
I took all 3 hand painted ink raven pieces, scanned them in, did some light retouching and then digitally collaged them into this poster. This is just one example of the type of digital collage work that I do with analog assets I create for book illustration.
