It’s been a very “head-down-tail-up” few months here at the Martian lab with the work flowing thick and fast. But that colloquialism was could be not any more perfectly relate to this particular illustration job.
This illustration was doddled up for a client who wanted a personalised cover for their iPhone. The requirements were that it “must be a cute widdle tiger looking like it’s ready to pounce – and have a red background”.
And zip-bang-whallop, there it is.
I started off with a quick pen drawing to give get the proportions right. Then it was scanned into Adobe Illustrator where I drew the entire picture using the vector pen tool and coloured fills.
The finished tiger artwork was saved as an image file and sent to wrappz.co.nz and is in the process of being made into a set of covers.
The client is so happy they now want to adapt the layout to suit their iPad and has even mentioned using it for a tattoo!
