The majority of my process takes place in my bed room with all my stuff spread out everywhere. I started off by making some notes on all of my ideas for this painting. Pretty much anything that comes into my head I write down so that I can later go through all of the ideas and sort through which ones I want to keep and use and which ideas wont work for this painting. Next I make a bunch of sketches of different compositions, until I find a composition that I'm happy with. Then I make two to four detailed sketches of this composition, changing and tweaking it until I am satisfied with my final sketch. At this point I was ready to transfer the final sketch onto my piece of canvas. This part takes me awhile because I wont start the actual painting until the design is drawn perfectly, down to the smallest details. I start painting with a medium brush and paint the large areas, later going in with a smaller brush to get in the tight spaces and paint the small details. My final step for this particular painting is to outline everything with a black ink marker to create crisp and clean edges.
