Lately, when I've been working on projects I find myself diving right in, and hoping for the best, to churn out good and quick pieces. And sometimes in an awe-inspiring moment, something wonderful might turn out...or on occasions long works in progress. Since I've been taking a Fantasy Illustration class, our instructor does not expect us to have fully fleshed out- completed illustrations. He would rather have us work on conceptual illustrations, that are well thought out and then is used as the foundation to a completed piece. To be honest, I haven't spent that much time in the pre-production phase of an illustration in quite some time. Usually, it's just a quick pencil sketch, then I scan it into Photoshop or dive into Photoshop and paint away. But, going back to this method has not only been enjoyable, but helpful as well. I think I've always longed for this, but my mind is so geared towards seeing a final piece that sometimes you neglect the importance of preparation. With that in mind, I hope to continue to spend a little more time in the conceptual phase. Here are a few concepts, that I've been working on for class, that provides as the foundation to a completed piece.
