Here's a blog post I put up on the Scotch College Library Blog, when I did a guest workshop there a couple of months ago.
A designer, from an agency called Mentally Friendly, has a client that was fond of my work. His client is a computer company that have decided to brew their own beer. What started off as a hobby has now become a little more serious, they have even installed a bar within their own studio! They have named their beer ‘Saligia’, which is a Latin acronym for the Seven Deadly Sins. The designer’s idea was to have a mural of the seven demons brewing the beer, so it was educational as well as fun. We decided I could make a better drawing if I did it on my computer, then print it out on vinyl and stick it on, rather than me fly up there and paint it on.

Here's a storyboard I did that's part of a promotional peice The Jacky Winter Group are doing. I've posted the different stages so you can see how it all comes together.
First I draw a thumbnail. This is to see if I'm on the right track. I try to keep it pretty fluid and loose, drawing it in about 2 minutes.
Once I get the go ahead I make a rough drawing. It's important to maintain the energy of the thumbnail while still adding in the details.
Then when I get the 'two thumbs up' I proceed to the finished stage. It's important when tracing to drop the opacity right down to 4% or 6% so that the linework isn't clouded by the rough. Then I colour using either two or three layers.
Ta-da! Pretty cool hey.
