When They Were Still Cute — Developing Ideas from Random Prompts

In this tutorial, I paint When They Were Still Cute from start to finish, focusing on how I develop ideas from random topics and prompts.

I walk through my full brainstorming process, showing how I move from loose concepts and sketches into a finished illustration. Along the way, I explain how I refine ideas, make design decisions, and shape the image through iteration.

This is a full, uninterrupted painting process with voice-over, including adjustments and course corrections along the way.
