Update #10: The evolution of an illustration

Posted on September 28, 2009

sutro-night-500

I'm not just writing the words for this book; I'm doing the illustrations, too. So I thought I'd give you a peek at my process—from idea to sketch to code (!) to finished image.


There are a lot of images involved (and a quick video, too) so I decided to post it all over at robinsloan.com. You can click the image above to get there... or click here!


Don't miss the mini-survey at the bottom of the post; I'm curious to know which version of the final illustration you prefer.
