A FAMILY TREE

70 years, 4 generations, in one collage. My grandsons love to hear about their Great Grandfather and how he fought in WW2, their Grandfather's love of snowmobiles and so much more. Your children should know their heritage.

BILLBOARD ADVERTISEMENT

A freehand illustration painted with Gouache. The intent of the assignment was to create a billboard advertisement that would capture the attention of "drivers" in a max of 4 seconds.

Mohawk Community Builders Logo & Poster

A proposed logo and mockup of a poster to be used by the Mohawk College Skilled Trades program. The poster is 100% vector data and can be scaled to any size, from a letterhead to a billboard.

The logo used in the Mohawk Community Builder's poster could also be used as letterhead for communications.

IF STIR

Drawing this picture of my sister stirred many memories.
See the next post for the process strip of this drawing.

A few of the steps involved in drawing my sister using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.

TOY

The word for this week in Illustration Friday is TOY. My husband and I shared a joke because of his love of cars: "The only difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys". Also snowmobiles, power tools and an antique tractor. LOL

I tried a cartooning technique, drawn and painted in Photoshop.

FARM MEMORIES

I painted this using gouache about 6 months ago. The inset farmer cultivating a field was added using Photoshop.

A SMUDGED SMUDGE

I have a white cat we named Smudge. When we brought him in from the barn he had a black smudge on his forehead. The black is gone but the name remains.

While Smudge is the name of my cat, it is also the name of the technique I was introduced to. Go to a group called Digital Painting 101 and see work by Palmsgb. Awsome! I could not resist smudging Smudge for my first project.

VIRTUAL GRAFFITI

If you feel compelled to write on someone's wall its better to do it in Photoshop

A little virtual graffiti helps those in need.

A "Tasteful" Menu

The project was to design an eight page menu that was both elegant and tasteful.

A combination of colour and type makes this a design that any first class restaurant would use with pride.

Over the years!

The purpose was to create a postcard that would display my illustration skills.

What do you think is easier ... turning a young person into an older one, or vise versa?
