Squid

Yesterday I made a quick birthday card for a friend of mine. Her birthday was nearly a month ago but everybody was too busy to graduate so we postponed the gift. A friend of my boyfriend made a really cute knitted key chain of a pink squid. She makes all kinds of cute knitted animals! After we received the awesome squid we went to town to buy a little box to give it the gift-unwrapping-feeling. We left the store with a jelly jar instead. Just the right size to put in the squid, plus it can swim and see its surroundings. So once it was accustomed to its new home I made some photo’s (see image 02) and I started drawing the card in Photoshop. Roughly 1 to 2 hours of work I created the squid while the squid created my friend’s name in less than a second. Guess the right current was flowing at that moment… I had so much fun creating this! It was a pleasure to create such a fun image.

I’ve been busy these past 2 days with a small drawing that I made in my dummy. It isn’t a special drawing, pretty average. But it was simple and fun enough to use and to experiment with the adobe tools. The lines are a lot thicker than the original drawing that’s because adobe traced the [...]
