1: The Drawing

I have a friend that turned me on to paint markers. I found that I like using them. I'm even going to start incorporating them into finished pieces. They go on solid and smooth.

Step 2: Background, part 2

This section can easily be compared to mapping and drawing. I'm actually eyeballing even space. A very precise way of doing this would be to measure the space evenly. I did use a ruler to give me straight lines.

Step 4: Drawing

A smaller round brush was used to make out the proportions and dimensions of the head. Painting and drawing go hand in hand.

Step 5: White

So, now we are reverting back to canvas, creating a "new" canvas. Anytime white is applied, it's considered reverting back to canvas. This is another time as well where drawing comes into play. It takes a good, keen eye to capture form and shape. The type of brush you use also plays a role in the shape of the strokes. I usually like to use square tips for filling in and round for everything else, like drawing.

Step 2: Drawing

Drawing is done with white paint to figure out where things generally go. Loose, swift strokes help through the process.
