SPOT ILLUSTRATIONS FOR WILLAMETTE WEEK
Here are four spot illustrations that I produced for Willamette Week, working with their art director Julie Showers.
The illustrations were inked and colored in Adobe Photoshop using a Wacom 13HD Cintiq, while sitting at a pre-1950s student drafting table (I love this table).
The following were the preliminary sketches, or comps, that I put together after receiving the details.
I love doing preliminary drawings in blue line in sketchbooks. My typical "go-to" tools are Staedtler non-photo blue pencils and Moleskine journals.
