Holiday Card 2009

This card was created by combining a pencil drawing of the deer with an ink drawing of the flowers and plants digitally, and the color was also applied digitally. We love mixing hand-done and digital mediums!

Pen tool tutorials

Ever wonder how to create custom illustrations in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool? I’ve just developed a 4-part series (don’t worry, they’re short!) of pen tool tutorials for my online class and thought I’d share them here. You can hear my dog barking in part two, but I think that’s a bonus! Be sure to watch them in order:

This was a fun project to work on. It’s nice when you get to create a logo with markers rather than just digitally! Also, I highly recommend My Computer Guy for any technical needs you may have.

Cigar Snob Illustrations

These are from a series of illustrations I did for Cigar Snob magazine. The turnaround was tight, but I’m happy with the way they turned out! I love doing editorial illustrations and had a lot of fun with the project.
