From there I sketched in two blobs sitting on a couch to represent the couple, with a TV mounted above a fireplace, which would light the interior with cozy warm colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe9618fa0cb47f52df55a1/1613050258853-23VXO2HJ3E1QDUCWRPSC/line+art.jpg Process - Completed line art From the line art I can show most references, like the cats, dog, snake, DJ stand, record player, candles, etc. Some of the other references would only appear after I start color, so I leave blank spaces to fill in later like the TV and picture frames. At this stage, I ask for your input on any major changes. For example, I accidentally added a second dog on the rug — that was later removed. They also wanted me to add their laptop playing a song “Tadow” by Masego in the scene. These changes will be made and then the line art will be considered complete! If any more changes are necessary later on, then no problem as long as they’re small. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe9618fa0cb47f52df55a1/1613052424978-7B9VFX6G8CJ0TBMGV0MI/IMG_2285.jpg Process See if you can find all of the little references they mentioned in their initial description — I promise, it’s all there, and more. In addition to what they asked, I inserted photos they sent into picture frames, converted their favorite painting of the neon buildings as part of the rainy outdoors on the left, marked their anniversary date on a calendar next to the TV, and inserted a mini version of this piece as part of the illustration itself. I try to incorporate as much as possible to make sure there’s something to look at in every corner. And with that, the piece is complete! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe9618fa0cb47f52df55a1/1613143341817-CZ9LAKOMBYD654RZFK5H/IMG_20210211_162301_663.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe9618fa0cb47f52df55a1/1613048960389-XR1U5929EMG7S698HTNN/living+room.jpg Process Living room photo.
