In this video I'll give you an overview of my precise approach to drawing characters and environmental scenes. You'll discover how I build up an illustration in layers - beginning with the foundations and an overall focus on composition, proportions, anatomy, pose and character placement.
I'll then explain the refinement process, and the path I take to transition into rendering and detail.
Rather than being a step by step tutorial, think of this presentation as the road map I follow each time I set out to drawing a new piece of comic art. This structure may well work for you also - and the advantages of using it is that you're able to build out your drawings on solid grounding. Off of a stable foundation that'll serve as the greatest predictor of your drawing's success.
