Informal process showcase #4

Neha Rawat

Great portfolio and lovely book @xin-li ! Looking forward to your session! I hope I can stay/wake up in the middle of the night to attend one of these live! (but the recordings work perfectly too)

LauraA

@NessIllustration Yes, I did, thank you! But it also makes me realize how much I need to simplify both my drawing and process! Good job!

NessIllustration

@LauraA Well, not necessarily! I like it as simple as possible, but there are many amazing styles that can only be achieved by more complexity. Everyone is different, and extreme streamlining might not be the right fit for you.

Jeremy Ross

Hi @NessIllustration, thank you very much for your showcase! That was neat to watch your process, especially seeing how you work in photoshop.

I’m a procreate guy for now, and definitely very sloppy!!!

Also thanks to @Braden-Hallett for organizing the event! Let us know if you need support on the Zoom subscription.

@Neha-Rawat yes it would be fun if you were there! On the other hand, if you're not there, you assume no risk of being on YouTube video having not washed your hair for several days like I did Oh man LoL

@NessIllustration thank you so much. Almost everything from my process, I got them from the svs community. It was good that I am able to give soemthing back to the community.
@Jeremy-Ross @Mara-Price, thank you so much. It was really nice to talk about my process, it feels like a proper de-brief .
@Braden-Hallett, thank you for organizing the event
Looking forward to the next Saturday.

I just watched the video. Such a great package of information.
Thankyou @xin-li
I have a couple questions if you don’t mind.
•When you were doing your initial back and forth emails to gather as much information as you could before starting, how long did that take, how long was the time gap from when you accepted the contract to when you actually started drawing anything.
•Did you get paid in installments, did they pay you anything, like a retainer, before you started the art?
•Did you receive any of the finished books for yourself, for self promotion or just to have?

Thankyou again. I wish I could’ve joined the meeting. This was great.
