“Daydream Believer”—our next print…
Ninja April 30th, 2007
Since Spring is definitely in the air + the flowers are blooming, Penguin + I have decided to put out another print. =) We’ve been receiving a lot of positive feedback, + we’d like to thank you for your enthusiasm!
I still need to do some tweeks before we get it printed, but here is the (Cliff Notes) process for your viewing pleasure.
Daydream Believer
I started out with a sketch of a tree + scanned it in.
Using the pen tool, I made a silhouette of the tree.
I then added in some squiggly lines (still using the pen tool with squiggly lines on the overlapping layer).
And it’s essentially more of the same (drawing more objects on separate layers, using the pen tool). I thought the squiggly lines on the tree were a lil’ too high contrast, so I changed them to a dull grey. I also reflected the tree horizontally. I then added in the swinging girl, butterflies, and grass (in that order). I didn’t have any pencil sketches for any of the other parts of the illustration; I drew them freehand in Illustrator.
Enjoy! And I’ll keep you posted when we finally get this printed! =)
