Sketches

I thought it was about time I share some work I've been doing the past week or two. These are all sketches from the Children's book I'm working on with my Mom. Some of these are revisions from previously posted sketches.

The way I work usually is by sketching out some rough ideas in my sketch book then when I decide I like how something looks, I go over it carefully with tracing paper, eliminating the rough, gestural marks. I then scan in each image (separately) on the tracing paper and compose the entire scene in Photoshop. (that is why most of these images appear to be see-through, and have a 'ghostly' quality to them) When I do the finals, I work on each layer separately, and erase the tracing paper around the sketch.

Enjoy!

Mutant Alien Birthday Cake

This is a flyer (flier?) for a co-workers birthday. I have been asked to do a few flyers lately, and they are proving to be some really good exercises.
