Caterpillar Vector

Here’s another vector illustration for children’s magician, Jimmy Joza. It will be printed on an 18-inch silk. It goes with the previous butterfly illustration and will be a prop in his act. He originally had another caterpillar image he was going to use for this, but he encountered some problems with the size and vibrance of that image. So, he decided to come back and commission me to draw a whole new caterpillar to use instead.

Because the butterfly was drawn in the style of the original caterpillar, this new caterpillar is also drawn in the same style. So as not to step on the previous artist’s intellectual property, this one uses an entirely different pose, a bit of a different face, different expression, different back spots, and a different approach to the construction of the body.

It was a really fun one to work on.

A vector drawing of a cute, cartoon caterpillar eating leaves. The caterpillar is positioned in a 3/4 side view holding a leaf in each hand. The leaves each have a bite mark and the caterpillar's cheek is puffed as if chewing. There is a blue swirly background framed with a pink border.

I recently completed a little illustration for children’s magician, Jimmy Joza. This butterfly was drawn in Adobe Illustrator. (Yes, I can work with vectors!) He plans to have it printed on a 36-inch silk and use as a prop in his act. He has an existing caterpillar image he plans to print on another silk, and he wanted me to match the art style of that one so that it was clear the two images were the same character. He also had a sample butterfly with rainbow colors that he wanted me to use as a color scheme for the wings. Here’s what I came up with!
