I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

milfs…,, milves,

If you’re in LA, be sure to stop by Gallery Nucleus this weekend for the CAPTURE CREATURES show! It’s going to have a lot of awesome pieces! I’ve made a gif and broke down the process for my Armadae painting! 

1. Sketchin out the drawing and then cleaning it up. 

2. Lightboxing onto some thick bristol paper with a lot of tooth to it!

3. Paint by numbers! Not really, but getting inside the lines is best for this stage. I usually use Holbein Acryla gouache coz it goes on pretty flat and matte!

4. Inking! I use a Hunt 107 nib because the fork is really stiff and I can tell when it’s hitting the paper easier than a 102. I’m pretty heavy-handed so knowing when I’m touching the page is a big help.

5. Beefing up some lines and throwing a thick line around the outside of the drawings with a fat micron, and completing some spot blacks.

6. CHIP CHOP!

7. Marking the outsides of the paper to make the edges black!

8. Frame!
