When I work on any artistic project it always begins on paper. I do as many thumbnails as possible along with researching styles and reference to work from. I get inspired all the time, so I always carry at least 1 sketchbook with me. I doodle and draw ideas as I get them. This first part of the project is the most fun. Today I have at least 6 ideas that I could use for the poster design. Since I have a bit of time, I will work on brainstorming ideas for a few more days before I start the REAL sketches. That way I can still be open for new and more creative ideas. The secret is the sketchbook.....and coffee.
