Here is a sample page of how I develop a rough sketch into a finished illustration.  The images below are of a commission, they illustrate the stages  in which I work and I hope you find them helpful.

No matter whether you know exactly what you want or you've only a few notes and a rough idea - I am more then happy to make suggestions and have experience at working with both.

First, I will sketch up a rough drawing going by the details you provide me and send you the sketch via a standard jpg attachment unless stated otherwise.  This is to check I've interpreted your idea and you are happy for me to continue.  As you can see from the first sketch image (stage 1), some slight changes needed to be made.  I'm happy to make changes in these rough stages as they can easily be corrected. 

Next, I'll draw in tidier lines, add a light colour wash and check with you again that your happy, upon which I will continue till the illustration is finished updating you with my progress.

I work by sending the art as a scanned image via email or cd - whichever is convenient.  I only send originals for colour match, printing purposes.

Contracts, copyright and payment methods and details vary from project to project and is something I deal with between myself and the individual client through email.
