Art Apart Concept Art


The piece below was drawn by John Pound as part of the Original Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids in 1985. John drew a couple different ideas on the same sheet in an attempt to capture the correct layout. The cards ended up being 6a Art Apart and 6b Busted Bob. Pieces of artwork from the First Series are extremely hard to come by, and I am especially proud to have this piece in my collection.

ROUGH PENCIL/CONCEPT ART
The Rough Pencil Layout is the first step when creating a card. The artist will draw a rough layout of all the main elements and characters on scratch paper. This will help them design the overall image. Even at these early stages in development, the artist must pay particular attention to details, like making room for the banner, namebar, etc. Even though the sketch is extremely 'rough', it is still easy to see the finished product starting to emerge.

FINAL PRINTED CARDS
The publisher has the printer scan the final artwork, and add the logo and character names to the art. The cards are printed on a large sheet as a complete set, then cut apart and collated into small packages and boxes of cards.
