Portrait Process

People often ask what my process is. It’s pretty simple.

  • Thumbnail (pencil/pen and paper)
  • Sketch (pencil and paper, or digital pencil)
  • Value comp (digital composition in black and white values)
  • Paint (digital)

Here is a sample of a Sketch, Value, and in progress painting. This is for a portrait for a talented actor/director/producer/writer in San Francisco.
