Creative process

Print out a copy of the Creative Process and paste it into your sketchbook.

Updates:
When anticipating the composition or the general look of the picture refer to the Visuals category, also view it as a source to design and/or art direct your own photo reference.

When shooting photo reference, turn off your flash and use side lighting, remember to match the light source of different elements of your illustration.  By doing this you avoid creating confusing or dueling light-sources.
