Valentine's Cards

I work at a Child Care, where I and another teacher are in charge of thirty second through fourth grade boys and girls. We both are planning on getting all of our children Valentine Cards, so I designed two cards to come from me. 

FOR THE GIRLS:

 

 My sister inspired this one. I've come to like it a lot, even though there's SO MUCH PINK!

FOR THE BOYS:

Most of my boys are into Pokemon, but I know a few are into Star Wars too. So I opted for drawing Chewbacca, RD2D, and C3PO instead of Pikachu (because I like them better ^_^) 

The following one was done for a few special ladies in my life to receive:

These diddlies were drawn in my sketchbook then colored in Photoshop CS4.

I hope your Valentine's Day goes well! ^_^

just a little something from the sketchbook. have a wonderful weekend.

Nursery Prints

I was recently asked to design two prints for a lady at work. She is having a baby in October and she wanted to decorate her nursery in a pond theme so she wouldn't have to pick just turtles or ducks or frogs but use all of them. She looked for children themed pond scene prints to hang up in the nursery to help tie her other decor together but couldn't find anything she liked.

So she enlisted me and after asking her what kinds of animals she wanted in the prints, I drew up some sketches which she approved of. I decided to execute them using Adobe Illustrator CS4, hoping to get some more practice in with using Illustrator.

She was extremely pleased with the result, which made me pleased as well.

Enjoy your day!

random doodles to let you know i still live

Adventures in VECTOR-LAND!

Another sketch turned into vector . . . I'm kind of on a mythical creature kick. ^_^ It still needs tweaking I think, but I have time to come back to it later.

From my Children's class

11x17" done in watercolor, ink, and Photoshop

In all the crazy rush of things at the end of my CCAD career, I forgot to share with you one of my projects. For my Children's Illustration Market class, we had to write and illustrate our own children's book.

I wrote a story about a little girl and a raincloud befriending one another. I find it to be a little cheesy, but I enjoyed illustrating some of the scenes. ^_^

. . . yeah . . . . . so . . .

just a doodle I did in my sketchbook that I brought into Illustrator CS4 to VECTORIZE IT!
