HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I recently completed a commissioned illustration which was to represent 2009 in the world of business. I used a slightly different style to make it more editorial.

For many companies this year, business was like pulling a boat through the desert. Let's hope that 2010 is smooth sailing for most of us! Good luck and I wish you all a happy, healthy and very CREATIVE 2010!!!

Illustration Friday: SAIL, paper boat competition...

MAY THE BEST BOAT WIN!

Here's my entry for this week. I noticed that I've been posting girls mostly, so I wanted to change it a bit, and add some boys. I also used a different medium (color pencils and acrylics on Bristol board). WOW! Color pencils are so time consuming! I like working with them, but I am not sure that it's practical working as an illustrator.

 

I am also posting the sketch for this illustration and the color study created in Photoshop. I sketch by hand, scan it and then add some quick color in Photoshop (Danidraws tutorial). I print this and then use it as a guide when I'm painting. It is so much easier this way!

Thanks everyone for all your comments. I really appreciate them!
