Grant's Special Summer

I decided to document the process I use for illustrating.

#1. I made a sketch and cleaned up the lines.

#2. I put down the colors quickly, like an underpainting.

#3. I went back with markers, pushed back and pulled forward different parts to create depth, and layers of color.

#4. I added some colored pencil for texture, and an outline to preserve the "cartoon" look of the boy and the dog. I also added the title on Photoshop.
