Keith Thompson Biography

Published 2009-03-04


I've grown up here in Canada, and from an early age I was obsessed with classical art and commercial art from Japan.  I've worked my whole life as a freelance artist.  I've written three books, and illustrated many more.  I also regularly do work for magazines, tv, film and videogames.

I use black colerase pencil on 110lb paper.  Halfway through the process the art is scanned and glazed using soft light layers in Photoshop. It's a 50/50 traditional and digital technique.

The whole process is detailed in this Gnomon workshop dvd if you're interested: http://thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/kth01.html
