Concept Sketches – Final Illustration
I’ve tried experimenting with different angles and compositions. So far the ones that interest me the most are 6, 8 and 11.
I’m still unsure as to what the dimensions for the final illustration are supposed to be?
Concept Sketches
These are the one’s I think look well. What do you think? 
Thumbnails
These are my thumbnails, which one’s do you think I should go with. I like numbers 4,5 and 6
Devin’s Thumbnails
I could only make six thumbnails, due to lack of time. I I had to go to two orientations back to back yesterday and as a result, I had no time to get these thumbnails done until today. So I ask you, out of all of the sketches, which one do you think should I go with? I need to know as soon as possible.

Final Pencil Sketch – Devin Sauls
The first picture is my final pencil sketch and the second picture is the black and white version of the same picture that will be used for Photoshop. I’m on the process of making the process book, but I still don’t know how to do the whole different shadings of the same color thing. I think it would be best if I get a visual representation of what to do with Photoshop. I learn things faster if someone shows me pictures or a video on it.
