Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

With the preliminary sketch approved I made 2 comments to David : A darker colour scheme. Darker reds on her costume. Fire surrounding her in a phoenix shape. The colouring moved the sketch to a whole new level. Attention to detail and how the flames are shown are simply amazing. Notice the phoenix outline in […]

David Enciso is a Canadian artist, illustrator, concept artist extraordinaire. His website http://www.davidenciso.com/ has some of the most amazing samples of his work.
