A Retro Christmas!
Ornament Gift Wrap for Spoonflower!
I love this theme because Christmas ornaments come in so many shapes, styles and traditions. I chose to illustrate some of my favorites from the ornaments that my family and I have collected over the years!
I started by just drawing as many ornament shapes as possible on my iPad with the Adobe Ideas App. (I love this app, I can take my iPad anywhere and draw without being tethered to my desk.) The next step was to add the details... I drew stars and dots and swirls and spots and hooks and pine branches a hundred different ways. All of the illustrations are just outlines and in black only until I open the PDF in Photoshop. When I get to this stage I make decisions on how many colors (in this case 5 + b&w), and come up with a strategy on the overall look. I decided to make the ornaments white because I wanted the details to be the focus and limited my colors to unify the shapes. Tried to keep it simple!

The Magic Show with 'Amazing Larry the kid Magician!'
This week's challenge… Designers were to create designs that depict scenes from a magic show.
This simple design was just drawn with marker and scanned into photoshop where I arranged the elements and colored them! The concept was to make this feel like a hand drawn poster made by 'Larry' himself!
Previews shown as a fat quarter (21" x 18"). Voting starts on Thursday, January 16th, 2014 and continues to Thursday, January 23rd, 2014. Please Vote!!
