Question 1

Do you take private commissions?

Accepted Answer

No. Unfortunately my schedules are too tight to do any personal commissions.
Please don't contact me if you are planning a self-publishing book or personal project.

I only work with brands, agencies and publishers.

Question 2

How long do you need for a drawing?

Accepted Answer

That depends! If I draw a character on a solid background (digital) for myself, it can take between 1 and 3 hours. Traditional art (e.g. Gouache) can easily take twice as much time.

Client work or commissions usually take longer as I'm always sending work in progress pictures to the client to double check the progress. It also depends on how quick the client is satisfied with the work provided.

Question 3

How do you normally go about constructing a character?

Accepted Answer

Depends on if it's supposed to be an original character for a story or a character for a simple painting. You're probably going to spend more time on an original character, but steps are quiet similar.

1. Figure out your characters personality
2. Design face, body, clothes particularly in regard to the character's personality
3. Facial Expressions
4. Testing different Silhouettes
5. Posing (line of Action etc.)
6. Color Palette choices

I usually try to not overload my characters with details. The more simpler characters usually have one special thing... e.g. a special hair color or a prop that is oversized etc.

Just don't overdo it!
