When you're an artist, your clients trust your creative vision. But having said that, it's always important to at least provide an initial sketch of what you're looking for, right?
It helps the artist figure out the direction they will take to create their final masterpiece. There's a thread on Twitter that compares the two, and it's really interesting to see how far a work of art has come. Check it out and see for yourself.
Listen to this artist here. No matter how "crappy" you think your sketch might be, it can still be very helpful to the artist doing the work. Look what they created here. Wow!
If anything, you'll give your artist a basic outline, and they can just run with it. Case in point here, it still turned out alright, no?
They were able to pinpoint the direction they needed to take it, and that's for sure. I think it came out quite good, too.
Can you believe this talented artist uses Minecraft to demonstrate the angle of their artwork? Isn't that so cool or what? I guess everybody has their own unique way of working it out. This is such a neat technique.
No kidding. Am I right? What the artist did with it is quite remarkable. I bet this person was so thrilled when they got the final work back. I mean — wow!
It's pretty interesting, huh? The artist admits they really appreciated the original sketch, and they relied on it a lot. The final version looks stunning, to say the least.
I think the artist did exactly what the person asked for, no? I love their interpretation of it all here. It makes this story here come alive. I would totally read this comic if I could.
I don't know about you, but I would be so confused if I got this sketch, ha, ha! I guess that's why I'm a writer and not a graphic artist. I'm definitely impressed with how it turned out.
The drawing here tells the artist the basic idea, and the rest was really up to them. I bet they interpreted it so much better than the person could have imagined.
The artist got these notes, and this is what they handed over. Wow! Isn't this pretty unbelievable or what? I guess they must think in different ways than the rest of us mere mortals.
If they ask you for a sketch, give them what you can. Anything that helps them figure out the direction of the work it's definitely worth the effort. I'm amazed by what they were able to create here. How about you?
