ILLUSTRATIONS

Drawing was definitely my initial step toward my career in graphic design. I have not stopped since I started when I was a little kid. I get a sense of accomplishment when I can turn a blank canvas into a piece of art.

Due to the virtually infinite amount of applications, most of my illustrations today are created digitally. However, they don't necessarily start that way.

A lot of my illustrations start off as thumbnails or rough sketches in a Field Notes sketchbook that I keep in my back pocket. This process allows me to get my ideas down quickly without feeling like I need to immediately revise them.

Once I have a decent rough sketch, I take a photo of it and import it into Procreate (the iPad Pro drawing app) to create a refined version of the drawing. I present this refined drawing to the client if review is needed. When we are finished with the review, I will create the final version of the illustration.

Depending on the final product - whether the illustration needs to be raster or vector - I import the drawing into Photoshop or Illustrator to create the final file.
