Illustration Friday: Rambunctious


Illustration Friday: Rambunctious, originally uploaded by speartoons.

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.

Santa’s Balloon, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Santa takes a trip around the North Pole. He can’t use his reindeer all the time, can he? This is what he does for free time. The big guy has to get away once in a while.

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

Illustration Friday: Repair


Illustration Friday: Repair, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Drawing for Illustration Friday’s word: "Repair." Frankenstein tries to repair the monster. The monster isn’t thrilled about the ideal.

I used this illustration to experiment with using flat shading and no lines. I also made liberal use of layer masks in Adobe Illustrator to use the shading in the shadows.
