I’ve been trying to come up with a colorway for my hounds collection that hints towards a pinky pastel sunset. I applied a pink opacity to this photo and also applied an opacity to the photo and placed an opaque pink under it. The original pattern has a lot of green, so I thought IContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Wednesday Work in Progress
Just working on some little icons and brushes. When I draw in Illustrator, I tend to do it the hard way. I’d much rather use my pencil tool and draw with my mouse.

Monday Mood Board
I’ve been thinking about Halloween since June. I haven’t fully decided on a mood board for October, but I was playing around with these colors. I also revisited some earlier “work” I did almost two years ago. That is how behind I am. Honestly, I don’t know how people work months ahead of schedule. IContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

WE HAVE GLITTER! I’ve always wanted to try making glitter in Adobe Illustrator but didn’t have the patience to see it through. I thought now would be a good time to try that out. I created the glitter for this celebratory cupcake by watching Graphic Design with Elena on YouTube. Elena made it so easyContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”
