Inspiration




I checked this book out at the MCAD library and flipped through some amazing sketches. This book reminds me of how much sketching can be apart of the art world

Moose Illustration




I dunno why, but I have a fascination for the animal moose. Maybe because I live in Minnesota now.

Illustrator Experiments




I'm beginning for a couple of weeks to experiment with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop applications more in depth. Actually, just to have more fun. What I did was made stroke brushes in Photoshop and converted the the image as a jpg file, place in illustrator and then made the brush into a vector brush and began painting in illustrator. It's really fun, and I hope to get out of this. Learn a few tips.
It's amazing that CS5 will be coming out soon.

Prairie Illustration sketches





These are sketches from my final 2D final. I've been wanting to get into nature illustration, and I thought doing a prairie them would come together. I've been doing prairie studies here and there throughout my education career.
