2. Setting up a miniature tableau with clay figures, toothpicks, foam board.


3. I record light and shadow arrangement using white and black charcoal.


4. Mirror studies on tone paper of Piankhy.


5. Quick gesture studies from live models of bowing figures.


6. Refine the scene with charcoal on vellum for archaeologist Tim Kendall's approval.


7. Beginning to block in the palm trees in the distance.


    A reader on Instagram asks: "When do you know you are happy with your underdrawing before you start painting.?I either keep making changes perpetually on the drawing, or get impatient and leave things out and start painting, adding elements as I go."

    Answer: "I probably did 25 different preliminary sketches, most that I didn't show. Didn't spend more than a few hours on each sketch. Each one solves a different problem. Deadline keeps process moving forward."
This process is covered in greater detail in Step by Step Graphics Magazine, Volume 6 #7
