lineless – Karen B. Jones

I just finished some work for Positive Promotions.

They had detailed sketches (created in-house) that they wanted me to finish off into vector graphics for an exercise booklet they were doing. They were good sketches. I think, with very little finishing, they could have just used the sketches in the final project. The problem was that the sketches were line drawings, which was not the style they wanted. So, that’s where I came in.

I used their sketches, took the color palette from their samples, and redrew them in the art style that they wanted. Not my usual work, but I think they came out well. And, more importantly, the client was happy.

Created using Adobe Illustrator.

These cuties are playing catch.

Earlier this year there were a couple of jobs that I didn’t get that called for a chibi style. Now, as you can see below, I can do chibi. I just usually don’t. So, I didn’t really have much in the way of chibi samples to send. I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t get the job, but lack of suitable samples is right at the top of my list of suspects.

So, I’m going to see if I can’t use Inktober to come up with a few chibi samples for future use. Next time, maybe I’ll get the chibi job.

Oh, btw, I do take commissions. Want me to draw you some chibis, or anything else? Just contact me and I’ll be happy to work with you.
