Eve's Christmas portrait

she's not really this fat...

Merry Christmas preview

Wanted to share my brand new drawing where it wouldn't spoil the final card release. This time it's hand drawn in ink, scanned and colored in Photoshop.

Say hello to Bugs side of the card

The Turkey Process

Sorry to have been so neglectful of my blog. What I've been drawing can't all be shared, and in fact I haven't been drawing all that much.
Here for those who like such things, is the process I stumble through when I create a color drawing...


It starts of course with pencil, paper and vague idea. I try first to capture the "emotion" of the scene in quick sketches till I see one I like.. I did this one first:








I took a second try and wasn't crazy about it.


I didn't really like that better so I went back to original and changed the poses, ending up with this final "rough" with better arm gestures and background critters

Then, I place the scan of the pencils into illustrator and ink them using a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.

Finished inks are then exported to Photoshop and colored as shown in the animated GIF below.

Exported photoshop image goes back to illustrator for final text. So there you go!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
