52 Weeks of Illustrating: Week 18

This illustration is loosely inspired by the mandala pattern found in several religions. (You can read more about it here if you are interested.) I find this one to have a bit of an art deco feel. I also went back to my color schemes from the paisley pattern. I like them a lot more [...]

For this week, I went back to some old homework from my Illustrator: Illustrating class that I wasn’t able to complete. I present “Happy Mrs. Chicken”: a folk art inspired rooster. (We watch a lot of Peppa Pig in my house and so this name was the first thing that popped into my head!) I [...]

My first paisley! I’m pretty excited about this one. I love paisleys but I had deemed them too difficult to make. But I was inspired by a video I found on you tube and after spending three days working on it, finally got it completed. I’ve also included a different color scheme as well as [...]

This week I tried to work on another trend: equestrian. Shouldn’t be hard for me, I do own a horse and have ridden for 20+ years. I would really like to put my spin on traditional equestrian gifts and paper goods. Typically, they are very traditional scenes from fox hunts and polo matches in muted [...]

I doodled the idea behind this flower in an app on my ipad. I really like the way it turned out. Especially paired with the green gingham behind it. I’m currently using it in my mother’s day promotions for the shop but I think I’ll have to find other uses for it. The ranunculus is one [...]

March ended in a bit of a whirlwind. For week 13, I have homework from my Illustrator: Illustrating class. The assignment was to try drawing using a tablet. You can see my first attempt. The second is a cleaned up (with the pen tool of course) and colorized version. It’s not bad. But I think [...]

It was a very busy week for me so this week’s project is a holiday card design for the minted.com Corporate Holiday Cheer contest. You can vote for it here starting April 1. While you are at minted.com, check out my entry for the Minted + People Magazine Most Beautiful Quote contest.

I’ve started a new illustrator class this past week: Illustrator: Illustrating. It’s already been a challenge trying to take what I know to the next level. I’m curious to see what the instructor’s feedback will be on my homework. Here is this week’s homework. You can see what my source image was as well as [...]

I’m keeping with the nautical theme this week. We watch a lot of Tinker Bell lately and that has me thinking of Peter Pan. So I thought I would tackle a sailboat this week. My sailboat is pink and I found a great Louisa May Alcott quote in case I get inspired to print this [...]
