Behind my work there is always an unspoken story. When designing a character, I treat it like meeting someone for the first time. In the beginning you know just the bare facts about them but as you spend more time together you discover fascinating insights about their personality and their history. I’m always talking to my characters - I ask questions about pretty much everything I illustrate, why, what, where, when - it’s all important. It’s not just the characters, it’s everything; objects, buildings, scenery. I believe the more answers you can find the more depth the design takes on and the more believable and interesteing it appears :)))
