Processes of Creation and Rendering of the Sketch

The map sheet was the scratching out of placement and perspective plotting. 

The finished rough sketch was then transferred to cold press illustration board. Then the pale pencil lines were traced to have a sharp pen line to follow with the other media. 

A watercolor laying in of color came next. This set up the soft areas of color like the sky, roof, and landscaping. It also formed the underlay for other areas that would be layered with other media (colored pencils, markers, and ink). The wood and rock were some of the areas that would receive layers of color and detailing. At this point, the rocks look like pok-a-dots. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the finished rock areas.

Next: Layering
