Dean Reilly illustration process.

First I sketched it up.


Next I scan it or take a picture with my phone depending on how lazy I am.
I outline the sketch in Illustrator with a custom brush I made.

Then I color it.

A Illustration and a Sketch

I have been working on Cleaning up some of my sketches/doodles. I did the outlines in Illustrator, and then color and shading in Photoshop. In Photoshop everything gets tweaked, so even the lines I created in Illustrator are changed and colored.

Listening to Fake Problems

Michelle Waterson - Illustration (Edit)

Made some changes. Didn't like how the other one looked.

Missy Dog

This is my dog Missy the worlds skinniest pitbull. When I stay up late drawing, she likes to hang out and bark at the shadows. 

She never sits this long.

Icon practice.

Took a tennis ball and made it a square icon. 

1. First made a rough outline in Illustrator.

2. Then colored it in. (I like doing a rough color in Illustrator because they have a color guide. Work smarter not harder!)

3. I took the vector images into Photoshop and added some textures.

4. Then added shading to make it more realistic.
This is the third Icon I have created and it just needs to be more fuzzy.

I went to two French Exit shows this week. One at the Blue Star and one at Duke's House. 

Discovered two pretty awesome bands. 

The first one is Signals Midwest _ here is a link to their CD  http://signalsmidwest.bandcamp.com

Something I am working on.
