I try and keep plenty of sketch books and fill them up with weird characters and life drawings so when it comes to making an actual piece of work or commission I already should have a few relevant drawings and I’m not just starting from scratch. Normally by the time I have finished the work it has complete changed from the thing that influenced it but I think that is what makes it interesting.
