3 - ILLUSTRATION!
Making the illustration is my favourite part; by using the proper artistic techniques, you can create characters and settings, letting your imagination run wild. Usually, as a first step, I create the sky in the background, and that way determine the colours of the ambient light that shapes everything present in the scene. Once you have created the base you start to compose the image, staying as close to the initial project as possible. I use various techniques for the execution, combining three-dimensional elements, photographic elements and features of traditional drawing; it is important to blend the various techniques in a coherent way so that one technique will not appear dominant over another. As a rule of thumb, only add details to the foreground and above all only in places where it catches the eye when reading the image.
