My Steps for Making Art
Step 1: I brainstorm and write down the mood that I am in and the ideas that i would like to create. The mood helps me decide how i would interpret my work to convey my emotions into my work.
Step 2: I narrow down my ideas to one or two and sketch them out. Here is where I label want the colors I would like to be use in certain areas or throughout the piece. I would organize the image where i see fit. Here is where I decide the dimensions of the piece.
Step 3: I take a picture of the sketch and upload it to the computer/tablet. Once uploaded I open it Adobe Photo shop and adjust the canvas dimension to the piece
Step 4: I create a color palette of colors that I am using (sometimes colors change based on how well the work together) and create layers to work on and edit as I move forward throughout the piece
Step 5: Once finalized. I do final touch up and merge the layers and export in either PNG (If I desire a transparent background) or JPEG
