Hello and welcome to design and business
conversations for creatives. I'm Cheyney and today I am sharing with
you my drawing process. A while back I created
this drawing of myself where I took a photograph of myself and I
digitally drew over the top on my ipad. I introduced myself to
a facebook group using that image and it gained a lot of popularity quickly and
I really enjoy this type of graphic design. It is a little bit
outside of what I usually offer, I mainly focus on producing logos
and packaging. This caught the eye of a couple of people and I have since been
paid to do this for people and I absolutely love it.
It's one of those processes where I can get a vibe from the photo and take it
wherever I want, however I'm feeling at the time, and I
just thought I would share a time lapse of myself creating
one of these. One, because I think it's really
meditative, I'm going to put some music behind
it so you can sit back and relax and enjoy it for three minutes. Let me know
if you like it. Comment below and tell me if you find it relaxing, or
soothing. I get into a hole of watching
people decorate cookies online. I go onto YouTube and
um, if ever i'm just feeling like zoning out, i'll just...
I can sit there for hours and watch people decorating cookies.
A friend of mine in the States has a cookie business and she posts from time
to time these videos on Instagram where she's
just doing a time lapse of icing, and I could, I just get in a bit of a trance. So
anyway, the second reason why I'm sharing it is because I like to be
transparent with my process and hope that
it can help inspire somebody. If you like the drawing and would like me to do this for
you, feel free to get in touch with me. It
might be something that I can do for you. With this specific drawing I got drawing
and I didn't really like the color. Uh, and the image was a bit busy so I'd
probably do it a different way if I were to do it again.
However, you'll see this three minutes (or so) of drawing is actually equates to
about three or four hours of work. So yeah, I thought I would
pull it from Adobe Draw on my iPad into Adobe Illustrator and
then change it there and just show you that process as well. If you like this
