I went up to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC to shoot some reference photos for one of the scenes in the book. The museum has been undergoing renovations, and while it’s now open, there are still a few areas that are closed. Unfortunately, one of those galleries contain some of the things I wanted to photograph. Here are a few photos from the shoot:

I’m at the draw, redraw and draw again stage of the final drawings. My desk is buried under a few inches of tracing paper.

I use layers of tracing paper to draw and reposition elements when working out the composition, but I also scan my drawings and shift them around in photoshop. Sometimes I’ll scribble things into the drawing directly on the computer because it’s often quicker to try stuff out that way.
