      Hi! So glad you like it!

      My process isn’t anything special. I work from reference photos, either that I’ve taken myself or else that a friend has sent me. I have it on my computer monitor and draw it from there. Usually I’m set up on a little desk easel in front of the monitor. I get the rough outlines down in mechanical pencil, and then ink using a dip pen and a bottle of India ink. All lines freehand, no tracing or rulers. Very controlled and processized, not a lot left to chance or mad flurries of excitement. And I’ll usually have an audiobook on in the background.
