I did these for chocolate packaging in Photoshop. They neede to look realistic and perfect...which actually doesn't happen in real life. Real life is messy...unless if you're eating M&Ms.
I took pictures of my co-workers which posed after seeing what I had sketched - I am the vampire. Then I completed the illustrations in Photoshop. Each took about a day to finish. These will ultimately be used as window decorations.
It feels good to design something new after a long time. It feels even better to nail the colors right away. They will be printing these on plates and mugs.
It has been a while since I last posted. Hope you like this surfer which I sketched in Photoshop and Live Traced in Illustrator. This concept was rejected eventually because it had too many details. I think it is fun.
