Over the shoulder view of a work in progress
There were a ton of people that stopped by to watch us all work. It's always fun to engage with the public because most of my days are spent working at my studio isolated. Using digital painting tools every day I forget that most people haven't seen digital art being produced. A lot of the spectators didn't know that Photoshop could be used for painting and a most of them had never seen a cintiq monitor before. So it was a real treat and a lot of fun to answer questions and show them how I digitally paint.
For my painting I wanted to paint a character that I had never painted before and with the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con coming up I thought it would be good to try and get a new print finished to sale at my booth. I chose the mysterious Kylo Ren for my subject. Here's a step by step of my start to finish of the Illustration.
In conclusion, I had so much fun at the art jam and made a bunch of new friends can't wait to do the next one!
