Sketches of upcoming illustrations (Patreon)
Content
Hello. Today I'd like to talk a bit about my process, which I'm trying to tweak a bit.
So, usually what I would so is work on an a new illustration from start to finish in one go, putting aside eventual ideas I would have along the way until I'm done with my current pic.
But I want to change things up a little so now going forward I will be drawing any sketches/ideas I have as they come, and try to work on multiple pictures at once. Hopefully this will keep me more motivated in the long run and it'll prevent the issue I currently have of not being able to come up with a new idea as soon as I'm done with a pic and struggling to start a new one.
This means a few things for my posting schedule:
- if I manage to become more productive, and it'll just be more pictures for everyone, great! if not, then it'll be the same 3/4 pictures per month (ideally I'd like to double it one day) same as when I was more active last year
- with this process I will likely finish my pictures in batch rather than one by one. That said I will most likely keep posting them one by one to keep a regular flow coming out, with some buffer pic always ready. With the first batch (february/early march), it won't change much, but hopefully in the long run it will be beneficial for everyone (no more big break and whenever I do have to take a break to work on commissions or NDA projects I can still have something to post)
