WORK IN PROCESS

A blog, I guess.

Tex and the City

April 6, 2017

I like to task myself with personal projects in hopes of becoming a better designer. Knowing we'd be taking a trip to New York in April, I wanted to do something TX meets NY themed. I started with a quick sketched down brainstorm (as seen above) and then started sketching things out.

This is what the sketches look like before I begin building them in illustrator.

As I went along, more images came to mind. I was going to only make three illustrations, but I kept going and made it to six! This was such a fun challenge. I hope y'all enjoy the illustrations! Prints should be available soon on my Society6. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at cheers@carrasykes.com, thanks!


TO SKETCH AND BEYOND!


It's hard convincing a client that a sketch can become even more than what it is at its most simple state. I'm hoping to have this blog be a place of process to show how a project can transform from sketch to final and beyond.
