Knobby Knee Monster

My Knobby Knee Monster series is coming to an end... I have a very deep connection with this monster because I also have knobby knees.
There was a lot of pink fur in this collection. Where ever I looked there was fur to be done.
Here are a few finished pieces.

My Proccess - Traditional Illustration

This is a recent project I am still working on.

First of all I start off by making thumbnails of compositions. When I am happy I make the full scale drawing and finalize it by inking it in. This is so that I will always have something to go back to with out having it fade away. I've had bad experiences with smudged drawings...
I usually use tracing paper to transfer the drawing on to the good stock. There are other ways such as using a light box.




Next I lay down the mid colors. Then I go darkter and light for last.











I finish the illustration and scan it into the computer and adjust the colors if needed.
And voila, we've got an illustration.

There's always a first

Yes, there is always a first and this is my first entry to my first blog! About time I got around to doing this...

I am an illustrator and I will be posting my progress, discovery, and a whole lot of other things I can't think of at the moment.

On the left is my image of a cat. I used to have a cat by the name of Cruiser and everyday no matter what time of the day as soon as we walked through that front door he is always there to greet us.
