Illustrator’s roughs

redpaper — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:29:11 +0000

Although I like seeing finished artwork when it comes in, I get more excited earlier in the process, on receipt of roughs. I think it is because though the final artwork is usually very accomplished it is in the roughs that the draftsmanship can be seen.

So here are a few recent examples:

Nick Hardcastle:

Bleak House

Mike McKeever:

Monkey King

Sonia Kretschmar:

Under the Bridge

Jamel Akib:

The Young Ghost

Adam Hunter Peck:

Country of the Blind
