Part One
Before even thinking about the composition of a piece I need to sketch and gather as much reference as I can, so I started by looking on IMDb for screen captures of Stranger Things and taking photos while watching the show. I felt having the show on while I was working helped me identify the mood of the composition, capture the likeness of the characters, and find unique shots of characters that might not be available on the internet.
With a ton of source material, I then started sketching on my iPad Pro with the Procreate app and my Apple Pencil. Typically in the initial sketches, I try to figure out the faces and come up with poses that would create a dynamic final piece. While sketching I tend to bounce around to different photos and work on quick gesture drawings to see if something clicks.
