Sigurd Sketch

So tonight I finished preparing the drawing for my next piece that I will be starting to paint tomorrow and I will be recording it for a future time lapse video release...I also thought I'd give everyone a preview of where it's going.

Nowadays my process is on the heavy side when setting up the drawing, but the actual digital paint time is significantly less than before because I've spent so much time up front analyzing and setting up.

Let me be clear though, even though this prepared sketch IS greyscale....I don't actually paint in black and white and colorize....my drawings just end up this way in order to allow me to have a greater textural base on which to start building color.
