Runway_Master - This is how I start a wave of thumbnails. 1) I usually fill a page with LOOSE concept sketches 2) BLOCK them all in to set an overall feel and define negative and positive space. 3) Render them chix with a similar technique.
One of my favorite personal projects from 2010. Lovin' the ladies...
