How do you create something like this?
The process is almost exactly the same as a hand drawn illustration except that the paper, pencils and paint I am using are not physical but digital. I use a graphics tablet (like a 'plugged in' sheet of paper) and a special pen which can act as a pencil, charcoal, paintbrush or eraser.
I paint in a computer photo editing program (such as Photoshop) and each illustration begins with a digital canvas or sheet of imaginary paper... to which I add paint, photos, drawing, more paint, more pieces of photos...until the artwork is complete.
Time it takes to create an illustration like this:
40 + hours
Here you can find a few time lapse animations which show the painting process from start to finish: TUTORIALS
