Art Process

Creating a Garbage Pail Kids character was an involved process that moved through multiple distinct steps, carrying an idea from concept through to final art. A design might occasionally remain the same across the entire sequence, but substantial changes frequently took place that altered the look and feel of the finished sticker. These steps included concept sketches, tight pencils, color roughs, and final art.
