what's new

The beginning of any project starts with quick thumbnail sketches. The thumbnail that went on to be the basic layout for the painting is the image you can see on the left. This image was actually enlarged a bit for you to see better - the original thumbnail drawing was only two inches wide.

Next, I worked on studies for the Beast's face. (See below)

The final "rough sketch" is shown to the right, and was what I used when directing the photo shoot with models.
