Thanks Monkeybread! I read those articles with great interest!
I did a short practice using thumbnails (not the waitress idea, something else), on the theme of refugee / migrants, a kind of fantasy world and did some thumbnails:
I'm starting to understand the process, however; when these thumbnails are drawn, they are supposed to be really quick right? Just to get as many different ideas down as possible, to really dig deep around your brain? Then when you have exhausted the process, and decided on a good one, you work on rendering that out into a finished drawing?
I'm confused as to where you focus on perspective, and scale and all that kind of thing - if I took a thumbnail then applied all kinds of perspective to it it could end up not looking like the thumbnail anymore -
Do you include all of that when you do the thumbnail? Maybe it's just cause I'm slow at setting up perspective grids that this process seems awkward...
