Transitions – What you can expect in the development of your art

EXPECTATIONS

I created this page to help you see how a work of art progresses so that you don’t have heart failure when you see your first pencil sketch when you were expecting a finished product to view for the first time.  

Your original cartoon or illustration goes through several stages before delivery.  Understanding the steps or stages that are necessary will help you to know what to expect as I work to create your original artwork.

IT'S YOUR ARTWORK! YOU CAN STOP AT ANY TIME.

A pencil sketch has an energy that a line drawing doesn’t. But a line drawing has that too. A colored drawing has yet another kind of energy! Pick according to your taste – and budget.
