I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

Illustration Friday: Rambunctious

I did this portrait for a Christmas present. I thought of this when the word for Illustration Friday was "rambunctious," because a family if four boys has to be a rambunctious family.

I drew the base art in Adobe Illustrator, then took it into Photoshop for the final touches.

I drew the line art with Pitt Artist Pens. The color is in Photoshop.
