   Hey @Jerrod - I love your work. Can you give us a little insight on a bit of your process? How do you come to this amazing result? Do you always sketch or sometimes go straight to the computer? Thanks!

   @Marco Moreno I always start with a sketch. Some sketches are more complete than others. But there is always a pencil and paper process at the beginning. Working in Illustrator allows me to adjust as I go so often the final product looks different than the original sketch. I don't so much trace the sketch as use it as guide as I work in Illustrator. But it's all done in AI with layers and some textures. Just depends on what the final output will be.

    @Jerrod - Thanks for that. I'm in the middle of starting some contract work that will require small vector drawings and I wanted to explore some workflows. As always clients want stuff faster than we'd like so any tips help.

    How long did spend on this? Might not be a good example as if was a piece for a friend. What about something that is under a deadline?

    @Marco Moreno That's pretty much always my process. Style and amount of detail tends to be what makes a differenceas far as time. I don't have a lot of shortcuts. I've been working in Illustrator for so long now, I am fairly quick. But it's a tedious program. Working everything out in the sketch stage does help.
