 Finish Drawing
After I have my color and values figured out, I do a final detailed drawing that I will use underneath the final art.  Values & Color
Once I have the Notan figured out, I can move on to the value rough. In this piece I used 7 shades from white to black. From there, I can translate the values into color. This is where it gets really fun!  Notans - Fairies in the Boot
Once I have the thumbnail sketch, I can launch into notans. This is a black and white rendition of how the overall value pattern of the illustration might play out. I did four variations for this piece. Can you guess which one I choose for the final art? Where to Ideas come from? In this case, I had done a thumbnail sketch of a couple fairies playing in an old boot. I found it in a drawer and decided to pull it out and see what I could do with it.
