MORE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS & Helpful Hints:

Preparing your Chosen Concept Sketch:

  • SCAN your concept sketch.
  • If you are making any edits to this sketch, draw your edits and scan those.
  • USING Adobe PS cut and paste together the final mock up.
  • PRINT your concept sketch. IT MUST BE PRINTED TO THE SIZE OF THE FINAL ART. THIS MEANS LARGER THAN IT WILL APPEAR ON THE PRODUCT.
  • A good rule of thumb is to draw your illustration 50% larger than it will appear in print.
  • You may need to print the image out in sections and tape it together!

TRANSFER your concept sketch carefully onto the FINAL WORKING SURFACE using the SARAL Transfer Paper.

  • Be sure to do this neatly! Use masking tape and blank paper to prevent unwanted marks on the border of your illustration.
  • Be sure to tape the illustration down carefully so that it doesn’t creep causing the image to warp.
  • Don’t press TOO hard…you should still be able to erase your marks.

FINALIZE your concept sketch onto the FINAL WORKING SURFACE.

  • Don’t press TOO hard…you should still be able to erase your marks.
  • Don’t shade. You’ll fill in areas of value later in the process.
  • Don’t INK. Your Art Director may still request changes.
  • This drawing should be done at your highest level of skill.
  • Be sure you are carefully considering your focal points and image hierarchy. (This may be achieved with value but should be planned as you draw.)
