I'll start with a story idea, usually a silly situation, and collect a lot of references online. A couple years ago I found myself not knowing what to draw so I stopped all together. I realized it was because I wanted to draw stories, not items, so I can't draw like one bird and be happy with that. So anyway, all those references get saved in my project folder on my computer. Then I do messy sketches. Teeny little thumbnails are tough for me because drawing that small feels cramped. I gotta throw my hands around for looseness. Once I pick a sketch that works I drag it over to a new canvas, enlarge it to fit, and then do a more refined drawing over it. I keep my characters and major items in their own groups in photoshop to stay organized. All my layers are named because there are so many. That's basically it.

Lydia,for some reason when I go on your web page only the header drawing shows???

[Lydia M]

What browser are you using? Nothing when you scroll down? It loads for me on chrome and internet explorer or whatever microsoft is calling it these days.

@Lydia-M Your site works on Safari and iPad - it does not resize itself to the screen size on either though - i need to scroll to the right to see the page - work looks great!

[Lydia M]

I'm not sure what's causing that and I don't have an Adobe Muse subscription anymore

@Lydia-M Just looks like the header is not centered over the portfolio .... easy fix?
