"Most of my pieces start off with an idea. I start by quickly sketching ideas in my sketchbook. I add a few prompts and a solid color palette to help me convey what I want the illustration to look like/feel. When that's done I transfer my sketch to digital and start cleaning up my lines amf polishing my lineart. I like to spend a bit more time on the step  ( I feel like it makes or breaks the piece). After the lineart is done and I'm happy with it, I add playing with my values and contrast while adding more depth by tweaking the lighting and colors if needed."
