inspiration & process
Just thought I would share a little peak into my process when working on a new illustration. First, I tend to do some quick sketching followed by research. By research I mean I usually gather some inspiring photos and colors, as well as look through some of my old sketches and not so neatly place them around my drawing board. Following this stage, I do more quick sketching until I start feeling the direction I want to go in. Then, depending on my mood and the style I am going for, I either create some cleaner drawings by hand which I then clean up using the computer, or I create the illustration directly on the computer.
Here are a few images as well as initial sketches and ideas from a recent custom design project. I’m really excited about the finished illustration, so I will try and post some photos of the finished project in the future.

I just stumbled upon your blog from a link posted on Style Me Pretty and I cannot BELIEVE this inspriation board!!! it is exactly what I have had in mind since my engagement seven months ago. proof: check the link to my wedding blog and you’ll see a number of my own inspiration boards with beach grass and sea bird texture images. I may be contacting you for a wood stationery set based on this theme when we set an actual date. thank you!!!!
