Posting your Creative Process

A Very important part of developing the 20X30 is the PROCESS of DEVELOPING the idea behind the image.......

Post an image of your BRAINSTORM map...... be sure it is easy to see what the THEME, or CONCEPT is.....

The items on the edges of your map are the SUBJECT of the artwork..... They are the CLUES to help us know what the artwork MEANS...

Here's an example....

See what I mean?

I  used VALUES the most to make it look ROUND....
