Caterpillar Vector

Leave a comment

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. A line of text at the bottom notes that the image is Copyright © 2024 Jimmy Joza. All rights reserved.

Here’s the completed image.  It was designed as a full spread.  That means nothing important in the way of the center fold.  Also, not much is happening on that right side because it would have a fade over most of that half with text overlaid.

Here’s leveret photos I took the weekend before last.

This little guy (and two others) were hiding under a plume of ornamental grass in my backyard.  Hubby found them when he went to trim it.  So, I laid in the grass for awhile taking pictures.  They were too little to know what to think of me and didn’t run off like they should have.  They were actually pretty good models and even let me move grass and leaves off of them to get a better shot.  Even when they did eventually get fed up with me and ran, I just picked them up and put them back and took more pictures.

They were actually more patient than my own kids.

Eventually I let them go with (probably) a rather confused idea of what humans want from hares.

I was experimenting with drawing more with shapes and shading than lines.  So, yes, I can draw this way, but I don’t like it.  It turned out looking decent, but I miss my lines so much.  I think I really need lines to make me happy with my work.
