Unusual Post

I realize this post isn't actually MY OWN sketches, but for a few weeks now my lovely significant other has been inscribing my name on my lunch bags in a creative way. Here are some recent ones:


















It's always a treat to see what she's come up with next! Thanks, dear.

I only had a minute or two to jot down something today. Here's what was on my mind this afternoon:

Here is the "final" product, as it will run in our publication.

Work in progress

As an artist working in advertising, I sometimes get to illustrate a concept manually. I thought I'd take this opportunity to show the steps of a recent project.


First, I sketch something pretty roughly on a sheet of paper. This is usually done in pencil.


Next, I'll outline it with a fine or extra-fine permanent marker. This image is then scanned into Photoshop, converted to vector art in Illustrator, and then integrated into an advertisement using InDesign.

I'll post the final piece once it is published.

I've been in a mechanical mood lately. Gears, moving parts, levers, and pulleys fascinate me.

Faces

As is typical, I got my own likeness much closer to reality than hers. This might end up being a study for a more elaborate rendering.
