Biography

Début de carrière
Stuart Craig a commencé sa carrière en 1968 en tant que dessinateur en bâtiment, travaillant sur des croquis d'architecte pendant douze ans, avant de travailler pour l'industrie cinématographique. Il n'abandonne pas sa technique par la suite, concevant jusqu'à présent ses pièces, bâtiments et emplacements avec des croquis approximatifs préalables, suivis de dessins techniques plus élaborés. Il confie ensuite ses travaux à des illustrateurs conceptuels qui ajoutent davantage de détails et retravaillent les échelles.
