Retirement Card Color

This is how the illustration looks today. I am applying the color in Adobe Illustrator.

The pencil rough is still on top of the finished file. I make the pencil rough transparent and trace my work like I am drawing on a light table.

I eliminated outlines in the background. Tomorrow, I'll work on the face details and possibly export it to PhotoShop for the details.

Retirement Card

A beloved lady at work is retiring next month. I've been asked to make an oversize retirement card.
Here is my pencil rough. I plan to block out the color in Adobe Illustrator.

Illustration Friday: Camoulflage

When people move into a critter's environment, some of them learn to adjust. This moth has done it nicely.

Pizza Eater

I took the pizza eater illustration from the previous post and polished it up. Mark my word, I'll be eating pizza tomorrow for lunch.

Making Decisions

I did a sketch of my daughter then scribbled a few cartoons. Making decisions and eating seem to be on my mind. I doubt I would really eat something that was looking back at me.

Diving Goldfish

My daughter is at camp this week, so I dashed off a little postcard for her. I never know if mail from home helps or just makes them homesick. I try to make them as silly as possible. For kids, you can't go wrong with animal humor.

I'm hoping when she's not in the pool, she is staying dry. We had some rain this morning. The goldfish didn't seem to mind it, though.

Illustration Friday: Rejection

When the word the week was "rejection," I thought of this image. I doodled it a few weeks ago while thinking about spring break. My daughter was offended dogs weren't allowed on the beach.
