My artistic process relies heavily on refinement. The Storm logo on Jewell's jersey was driving me nuts as I tried to really get it locked in. I often revisit areas of the drawing that I once deemed as "finished" and add more detail. In this piece I've done that several times, and I also further refined the faces to ensure all the proportions are correct. I enjoy sharing my process, and you also get a glimpse at my flaws as I'm still learning. My goal is to simply improve every day. But it's all about the final piece. I know by the time that I'm really finished, everything will be just as I want it. #pencil #drawing #art #Seattle #Storm #basketball #TogetherWeRise @seattlestorm @JewellLoyd @SBird10

I'm a firm believer that the smallest details often make the biggest difference - in art, business, in our daily lives, etc. Going the extra mile and exerting the additional effort is often what's required to achieve greatness in any aspect of life. I could have easily glossed over the elastic waist on the shorts. After all there's a good chance that they'll be covered with matting once this piece is framed. But I never want to take short cuts. I want people to examine this piece all over and say "wow, even the waist on the shorts have a ton of detail." Again, it's such a small part of the drawing do it will likely go unnoticed by most but, for those who do see these details, and think they'll truly appreciate the extra effort. At least, that's my hope. #pencil #drawing #art #Seattle #Storm #basketball #TogetherWeRise @seattlestorm @JewellLoyd @SBird10

Final drawing. Seattle Storm: @SBird10 and @JewellLoyd. 15” x 23”. Pencil on paper. This piece is going to be at the center of the Storm’s season ticket renewal campaign. Starting Friday, the only way for Storm fans to get one of these prints is to renew their season tickets. It’s actually perfect timing because their Season Ticket Holder Party is the following weekend, and I’ll be joining Sue and Jewell at the party to sign prints for fans. Should be a great time! I had a lot of fun with this one, but it wasn’t without it’s challenges. Drawing faces are always difficult because the facial features need to be really accurate and in perfect proportion to each other otherwise the the face will look a bit off. I definitely spend a lot of time trying to really capture the fine details in their face to really bring this drawing to life. Additionally, there are various textures in the piece: the soft tones in the skin, the slight shine in the hair, the reflection of the materials on jersey, the dimples on the basketball, etc. I really wanted to each texture to be accurately represented. Lastly, there was a ton of lettering in this piece! The Storm patch, “Seattle” across the chest, the numbers, the Boost Mobile logo, and the Adidas logo. The line work has to be so fine and tight and, at this size, even the slightest inaccuracy will dramatically alter how those recognizable logos are perceived. In all, I have almost 40 hours into this piece. I want to send a big thank you to the @SeattleStorm organization for giving a chance to create a piece for their fans. I hope they like it!
