A picture is worth so much more than a thousand words. They tell whole stories with in them whether alone or in the context of a project. My primary medium is photoshop to bring the pieces to life but I will also use pencil and pastels as well. I always start with a pencil when developing the bones of the piece before I bring it into illustrator to finalize the line work. Then I begin building up the layers of color in photoshop. The rich colors are created through light opacity brush strokes to work in diffrent hues.
