Illustration

Set is a drawing that I have made into a digital illustration. I blocked out the shapes in Corel Draw, then recoloured, gradient-ed and brushed into the final image in Photoshop.

The digital painting process was fast for a while, but I did get bogged down by progress already made and the last half took three times as long as the first half. Even choosing a colour scheme took a long time. Not a problem you have when sketching!

Here’s some Work in Progress images.

I’m quite happy with how it’s come out though. Do comment.

I’ve been thinking about migrating to Illustrator for my vector work (and design jobs). To that I end I was curious to see how well Corel Draw exported to an AI file (with gradients, transparency etc.). Gotcha came through pretty well and I couldn’t help mucking around with it for 10 minutes. I wasn’t expecting to even save the file afterwards, but these red colours and scattered shapes are doin’ it for me.
