Set — Illustration

Mike — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 23:16:04 +0000

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.

A big illustrated E, just mucking around.

Gotcha Destroyed

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.

It’s true, sneaky buggers.

This is an architecture/fauna hybrid that came about from random vector drawing.
It got a Daily Deviation at deviantART in June 2008.

An ink drawing coloured in Photoshop. I like the shapes.

Biro Building

I constructed this image in 2004 using the first cheap biro that came to hand, then scanned the drawing and did the colouring in Photoshop.

I like the bleak colours, angular architecture and the shading style of the biro.
