thank you! admittedly i am all over the place when creating art and most of it is kinda just trial and error before thinking “OK, i am pleased with this”, but luckily I had documented a lot of my process for the krusie bathroom illustration. i am also not the best at explaining things either, but I will try to the best of my ability. here is my process compiled

it is important to note that while i think having some sort of structure to realize an idea can help if you’re stuck and/or make it feel less overwhelming, it is just as easy to psyche yourself out if you try perfect each step. you can always go rework a step if you separated them into layers. remember, art is supposed to be fun, so go with the flow!

as for pieces that are more painterly, my process is about the same except i don’t make linears and instead work directly over my sketch like this. if I make errors, i just paint over it.

inspired by a magazine spread by Andy Virgil (original under cut)

also because i'm nothing but committed i've redrawn the cover too (left is the original)
