Exploring the Process
Back
Most projects start out as pencil sketches, notes, or a combination of the two. The sketches range from being an impression of an idea to fully rendered lineart. A few that reach the fully rendered stage get colored traditionally. 

The page of sketches/notes is scanned and transferred into the given program, generally Adobe Photoshop. Graphic design products - or graphics - will be made in Adobe Illustrator to allow for the graphic created to be enlarged or reduced without pixilating.

Graphics created are worked directly from the sketch and notes. When working with others, the digital process doesn't start until the object being created has been fully realized in pencil or pen first. This allows for the minimalist amount of adjusting to occur when working on the digital file. However, collaborators are still contacted throughout the project and at the end of the project to verify that the creation is made as intended.
​
The Adobe Photoshop projects, however, sometimes deviate from the initial sketches and notes so much that the process starts over completely digitally, using the sketches as a form of reference for the final image. In many cases, sketches are not proportionally correct and a bit of time is spent re-sketching the image in order to fix proportions. While a tad time consuming, the final product looks much better for it.
