Phase 1—Sketching
• The initial figure was sketched on paper with pencil until it was refined enough for Phase 2.

Phase 3—Full Color & Shading
• I moved the vector art to Photoshop and experimented with background elements and color.
• After deciding on the color scheme, I used tone shading to compliment the rougher line art.
