Alien Sage Wizard Character Design Process

in #art7 years ago

Here's a small character design project I'd like to share.

This was a personal project of mine that started from a little doodle from my sketchbook. I would call this primarily an exercise in trying out a new vector building process in Adobe illustrator as taught by my friend Von Glitschka.

Here are a few images displaying the basic illustration process that I took.

Sketch:

Vector line art:

Black & white finish:

Finished, full-color piece:

As you can see, and this seems to be the case with a lot of my art, that the final art evolved from the original sketch pretty significantly.

I tend to start with a basic idea and instead of just tracing the drawing exactly as it is, I take some liberties throughout the process in order to improve the overall design as I go.

Although this tends to lengthen the time it takes to create art, I genuinely believe it produces the best results. At least for me. :)

That's about it... I hope you enjoyed my first art process post. Thanks for taking a look and please let me know what you think in the comments. Feedback & suggestions are always welcome!

Cheers,
Fitz
