Step 1... Step 2...
Step 3... Step 4...
An idea for a caricature is sketched with pencil and paper.
This particular owl was created as a mascot for a local
library.
The raw sketch is then developed through a series of
tracings with paper and pencil. With each generation the
features and proportions of the owl are fleshed out and
refined. It usually takes 3 to 4 generations. When the
artwork is ready it is scanned as a raster image.
The loose vector shapes are now individually selected and
colorized. Linear/radial gradient fills and other details are
carefully added to create depth. Lastly, all the lines are fine
tuned to bring the artwork to completion. Because vector
art is scalable it can be used in a variety of applications for
both print and web.
The image is placed into Adobe Illustrator where it is
again traced with the pen tool to create a vector based
drawing. When finished, the strokes are converted to
outlines and combined into one shape. Further edits to the
design are then made including varied line weights to
give a hand drawn look. When the vector art is finished
the compound path is released creating loose shapes.
