My Little Corner Of The World!: This Little Dot Went For A Walk!

I've started doing some warm up doodles, sketches and little paintings to get my ideas going each day. I'm noticing this is making me come up with concepts quicker and quicker. It's a great method to throw ideas around and create an image to go with it. This kind of thinking goes back to my university days when we made verbal and visual narratives in a class I took (that also led to me to being an illustrator). It really is a great way to creatively stretch especially after having the flu and winter storms all hit you at once. Glad I got this this cute dot done. We are in for yet more messy weather this afternoon. 

Have a great creative weekend all. - Holly

Image Spotlight - "Rainbow Trout"

As a freelance illustrator I specialize in traditional and digital cut paper collage for the children's market. The Rainbow Trout is a personal piece I recently created in an effort to play with a new technique that involves working with overlays and watercolor washes.  For this piece I created washes of watercolor on illustration board and scanned them in to Photoshop. Then I placed a hand-drawn sketch in Photoshop and built up each element of the drawing in layers with textured clipping masks. To create the transparency in the rainbow water I used overlays and varying opacities for each color.
 This process allows me to easily adjust colors, compositions, and textures within my illustrations towards the end of a piece's development.  I have used this process while working for clients such as National Geographic Kids Magazine, Kids Can Press (Schools Days Around the World, Spring 2015), and World Book Encyclopedia.
