In preparation for my daughter's arrival, my wife and I have been working diligently to prepare her nursery for 18 years of occupancy. One of my personal projects is to create a work of art for her to enjoy until she decides that her parents are lame and wants to rebel.
Using my medium-of-choice (Cintiq and Photoshop) I started sketching a fanciful scene of a rabbit in a pith helmet chasing a butterfly (you can see the initial sketch here). The butterfly morphed into a carrot with butterfly wings in order to pique the rabbit's interest. I then fleshed out the scene adding the background and coloring it to match the room (turquoise and yellow). This is full size, so now I just need to up-res...and up-res...and up-res...and giclée print.If anyone needs a children's storybook illustrator, just let me know...
