METHODS - Step by Step
Preliminary rough for final drawing
Even though this might look exactly like the drawing in the value study, it actually incorporates subtle differences that were redrawn after I had the new photo reference. For example, the final tilt of the character's body has changed, along with the positioning of the hands and foot.
In addition, other elements, like the owl and the clock, have been enlarged for greater emphasis. Also, elements like the quilt and pillow have been redrawn based on the photo reference. The details on the inside of the moon also needed to be refined.
One element that didn't change in this step was the face. I liked it enough from the first stage, so it was reused.
In this way, individual elements of the picture are refined and resized by using my copier machine, and the final result is a combination of both xeroxed and drawn elements - which then get pasted up (or in my case, waxed) onto one sheet of layout paper.
I'd rather have all of the elements just the way I want them at this stage, and create a composite - rather than to have one" final" drawing done on one layer.
