Illustration Friday: Edge

edge 500

Perspective on something geometric, like a building, is much easier to do than perspective on something organic, like people.  So, this was a challenge.  I’m not 100% happy with it, but I’m sharing anyway.  Enjoy.  smiley 15

I don’t know why, but I’m really proud of that contrail.  That came out well, I think.  smiley 15

I think this is the final version.  Unless I notice something that needs changing.   smiley 15

pinata 4 500

And here it is in black and white.pinata 4 bw 500

I designed it as a two-page spread with a bit of room at the top and bottom for cropping if needed.  It’s all done in layers, so the signature can be moved or removed and the colors can be individually fiddled with as necessary.  The center line falls about where the mom’s elbow is, so nothing important is obscured by the fold.

Elephant with a Balloon

 

 

 

And here’s a couple of variations.

 

 

I added some products to my Zazzle store with this design.

Happy Snowman

This might be my Christmas card design this year.

Or does it look better with more painterly colors?

I made some cards and things with this design.

Cheater


Just a little sketch. I drew it in Adobe Photoshop and it’s mimicking a pen-and-ink style.

This is what I drew last night while watching the presidential debate.

I don’t know why, but in my head these boys are named Thor and Loki. Hey, even demigods were little once.  Yeah, I’m a dork…

Edit:  I posted an expanded version here, in case you’re interested.
