Sathish Kumar emphasizes the importance of experimenting with brushwork, color, and storytelling to enhance creativity in art. His process begins by sourcing inspiration through references followed by writing a concise guiding narrative. He sketches quick thumbnails on paper to maintain simplicity and efficiency. Quick color sketches explore different moods and palettes before finalizing the image. Kumar values the flexibility of revising concepts at this early stage, allowing for quicker iterations without getting distracted by details. This method promotes a natural expression of ideas during the initial creative phase.
"My process begins with finding a reference for inspiration. Then I write a one-line story or idea to guide the concept and draw a quick thumbnail to keep loose and efficient."
"I tend to ideate quickly on paper as I find it helps to keep the sketches simple and efficient by bypassing the computer altogether."
