I’m not sure what everyone else thinks, but I’ve always loved to read artist’s blogs where they show in-progress work or their process for how they “create” art.  Everyone does things different.  Even when using the same process, they still manage to progress and move along in different ways.  It’s something I find really interesting and I always find myself looking forward to viewing their progression.   For instance, I know a lot of artists who start work with thumbnails before progressing to their drawing or painting, this is something I do as well….but while I tend to draw out a few images and pick from around five to ten sketches, I’ve seen artists who fill pages upon pages before finally deciding on which design to move forward with.  I already have a hard enough time choosing from 5-10, if I had to decide based on two pages worth of thumbnails I might never get to a finished piece

So for the sake of showing progression I thought I would document a new painting I’m working on from start to finish…for today, here are the rough concepts, or my thumbnails. More to come very soon.
