A look at the painting process
Each sketch is done on Canson tracing paper in blue Uni Color lead with a mechanical pencil. A clean copy of the sketch is then traced onto Canson vellum in the same blue lead similarly to how you would ink a drawing. The drawing is then scanned into Photoshop where it is cleaned up. Next it is imported into Corel Painter where all the painting is done. I layout the rough color and lighting on a layer under the image, once ever piece of the canvas is covered I then begin painting on top of the line layer. Once everything is mostly done I go over the whole image with a fine detailed pass.
Here is an example of this process with my image Wolpertinger Winter
