Some of the Process
Transferring the sketch to the canvas
Many people think that I dislike technology, and that's just not true. I hate the abuse of technology. I used an opaque projector to transfer my little sketch to the large canvas. If I like the sketch and comp why not utilize it?

refining the sketch
after getting the layout in place it's time for the pencil! I go back into the sketch and make the drawing more detailed and clear

here is a detail of the dress. I spent a while on the detailing so I thought I'd show a close up
beginning stages of under painting.
I always do the under painting in acrylic for 2 reasons, 1. It drys faster
2. It's cheaper than oil, I have to save money somewhere

Just an Update
Sorry not much process on this one I got carried away and forgot to take pics. But I thought I'd show you all what it looks like so far so you don't think I'm dead. I just had surgery so that's why the art updates haven't been as frequent :(
