Drawing is the basis for almost all visual art. The ability to articulate one's thoughts and ideas onto the page, through whatever medium, is integral to not only achieving a final product, but also jumpstarting any design project. "The sketch" often defines the launching point, and sets the creative stage for what is to come.

My preference for traditional illustration remains pencil and ink, with colored pencil added for dynamic. More recently, I have fully embraced the iPad Pro and its complete reinvention of digital drawing and artistry. For me, it is a near perfect marriage of traditional art techniques with digital compositing and output.
