Behind the Scenes - Illustrating Josh Goot




Hi Everyone!

Did you like the previous post on how I do my illustrations? Here is some more behind the scenes for you of the Josh Goot illustration.

This is an illustration that I did early on, just after I started using my tablet and Corel Painter 11. As you can see, I like to work with layers... This illustration has 34 different layers, but my newer illustrations can go up to 90 layers! I use layers to overlay different colours, shades and strokes on top of each other, until I get the look that I like. The layers also allow me to preserve the history of my work - if I mess up on something and ruin my illustration, I can simply make that layer invisible and start over :).

  6. Nelly: The goose likes her privacy. She only makes appearances on special occasions ;).

    Corey: Glad you found it interesting. And yes, I should do the goose soon - I keep saying that and never find the time. You see, drawing geese takes a lot of time as I don't do it often. But practice makes perfect. :)
