Preparation stages of illustration creating - all the sketches I make before the final piece
Preparation sketches, search of composition and so on are really important when it comes to a bit illustration, or a series of them. It's like "thinking on paper", keeping all your minds here.
So, here I want to share preparation sketches I did for illustrations for a story about a boy, who found a dragon egg and raised a friend from it. I can't show the final piece, only preparing colors and composition. So, usually the final color and composition search looks like this in my work:
And like this:
Two episodes from the same story. And the boy reading about the dragons:
Before making colors research I pass through a series of sketches, where I'm trying to figure out how the composition must look, how the characters must look.
Body parts, everything. And different solutions for every piece.
This all precedes actually digitalising the drawing or making the final art with traditional mediums;)

Very talented, you will go far :)
Thank you dear Karen:)
nice article child times
Since it was preparation for childrens book - no surprise:)
Great post @inber. That is the way I often plan a painting, I draw small sketches of things I want in it..tree, bush, animals etc and then I put it all together. Other times I sketch an idea.
Love your artwork.
:)
I love these illustrations 🎨
So good, really well done. :)
Thank you:)
Great pictures and the story must be very interesting . So sad to see the dragon killed or maybe not. I would love to see the whole story with your illustrations. :)) Great work. Have a good one my friend ;) Up
Unfortunately I will not be able to show the final pieces and the story. But may be only when he book will be printed;)
