Developing a slick illustration workflow

[Artloader]

Nice stuff! I'm curious, is this something you would plan on doing all in one sitting? I'm curious about "taking a break" being a step towards the very end. I'd recommend trying the pomodoro technique, where you work for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break in between sessions to help you concentrate.

Otherwise, this seems like a cool idea. I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to make, and eager to see the final products!

Thanks ZombieChinchilla :).  Nope, I'm in a full time IT job so I would be doing this in my evenings over a couple of weeks or so. 
The "taking a break" was meant to be more along the lines of switching to another piece of work for a few days and then coming back with fresh eyes to do a quality pass.

Thanks for the tip-off on the promodoro technique - I keep seeing that being talked about in various places - I might look into it.

I'm trying to become more efficient since I have to complete 18 illustrations in the next 9 months for a short story collaboration with an author friend of mine.
