I'm very excited to finally finish these five sequential images. Below, I post some of the initial thumbnails, value studies, color studies, reference photos, and inspiration that were essential to create the final images. It takes a lot of preliminary work to get to the final result, and at times I started to get impatient. Hopefully, all the hard work is reflected in the illustrations.
This is seriously beautiful work, Katia.
ReplyDeleteSeeing artwork in books like this as a kid is what inspired me to become an artist in the first place.

ReplyDeleteKatia,
ReplyDeleteThese illustrations are beautiful. They really have an airy, surreal quality to them and they are consistent in style. Plus, you've created so many elements within them. Touche! well done, publish it, I'll buy it :)
Thank you Greg and others, your words mean a lot to me.
