Swim

Hi, the next topic from Illustration Friday is about "Swim".
Personally, I don't know how to swim but I really like the beach. Especially, I like scuba diving that I can discover the world of underwater. 
This time I tried to use gouache paint for my artwork.
I researched some images on Google as well.

First, I did draw a thumbnail of a turtle and tried to use a gouache paint on it.

Second, I painted the actual artwork with the larger size.

Next, I placed my artwork in Adobe Photoshop to adjust a little bit color on it.

I also added an ocean background to fit with a turtle. I changed the blending option of a turtle to hard light as well.

Then, I used rising sun brush to make an effect on my background.

Finally, I added some underworld plant and fishes into my artwork to make a complete version of my design.

This is my complete artwork.

Egg

Hi, I keep trying to do the challenge from Illustration Friday with topic: "Egg".
The first thought came to my mind was Easter festival. Especially I like a bunny so much.
Therefore, I give a try to illustrate a bunny and an egg that is common on Easter (with made by chocolate inside which is my favor).
First, I did some sketches to celebrate Easter festival.

I found some references to support my idea as well.

Furthermore, I added "Happy Easter" in my design using some text effects in Adobe Photoshop.

Eye Glasses

Hi, the following is the other topic from Illustration Friday called "Eye Glasses". It reminded me of a cute dog that I used to set for my desktop wallpaper.


Here are some references I found on the Internet about some animals wearing eye glasses.

  I also do the sketch for my design. I like tiger and it is a wild animal in the world.

First, I used Adobe Illustrator to make my background. It is like a "wild" background and perfect with a tiger.

Second, I drew a vector of tiger by using CorelDRAW. I also did it for my brewery company. So, I included a mug of beer in a tiger's mouth. Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.01 PM 

Next, I placed a tiger in a background to make it more stand out. Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.37.18 PM

Finally is the main image with the topic "Eye Glasses". I just simply used Adobe Illustrator to draw vector eye glasses, and placed it in a tiger as well. Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.27 PM

I found it is really cute to put eye glasses on an animal.
And here is the logo that I did for brewery company.
