How do I do what I do?

It all starts with an idea that excites, which can come from anywhere. Next is gathering reference material. This usually involves researching various things and collecting and taking pictures. Next, I work on some sketches, usually a combination of being done by hand and some of it done on the computer using Photoshop to tweak patterns, or the shape of things, or imagining what colours it might look good in. Next is transferring the final drawing onto the canvas and then I paint! I mix all my own colours as it allows for more options 🌈
