Wanted to show a simplified version of my footwear creation process including inspiration, one of my sketching processes, AI to proof out the concept, and finally colorways.
I enjoy this render style as well because it combines a more traditional render style with my cartoonish cel shaded style of illustration/graphic work.
Done 100% in illustrator except for the 4 AI concept renders.

I try to get the team invested in both the process and the final outcome by including them at key steps along the way.
Building something good as a team, there isn't anything quite like it.
Below is a very simplified version of how that process could look...
