This is an overview of my workflow of a design sketch that I did recently. I cover the design stages and the pitfalls of not having a sold composition planned out at the beginning.

"Alien Buggy" - The Making Of
This is an overview of my workflow of a design sketch that I did recently. I cover the design stages and the pitfalls of not having a sold composition planned out at the beginning.

WIP: Creature Eyes
These three sketches below are for concept art project involving a close up of an intense stare that invokes an emotion.
WIP "Alien In a Hostile Land"
"Alien in a Hostile Land"
At least that is the working title so I can easily find it at a later date. This WIP (Work In Progress) is a personal project that didn't really start with a brief. I normally try to make a point to create a brief for all projects in a simple text format . Then I add progress notes of what to work on next. This way I have a to do list of items to proceed with when I work on it again. Instead of using Bridge with Photoshop to track or browse files, I use IrfanView Thumbnail Viewer (that installs with IrfanView) because it is a very light weight app. It will allow me to also open the files in any external editor.
In this case, the parts just started to come together. It started with me doodling in Photoshop with a simple soft brush, opacity controlled by pressure, working on a value sketch (gray scale only) to see what I could find within the scribble. The technique is similar to looking at a cloud and finding a shape within it. In a short time I had created a little alien in perspective. I cleaned up the silhouette a bit, added texture, rim lighting and a very simple "throw-away" background shown below.
