FANTASY WEDDING COLLECTION

This SAVE THE DATE greeting card started with this fairy flying thru the evening sky(from my previous post)…with the magic of photoshop, I layer the fairy over this close up shot of a spider web. I easily created a new design! Combining my  illustration with my photography, it gives me one more tool I can experiment with. When it works, it's quite unique. This makes for a nice wedding suite to add to my FANTASY WEDDING theme.

CREATIVE PROCESS

Only 10% of my sketches ever get to the finish state. This little fairy was just a quick doodle in one of my sketchbook. The full moon outside my window this week is too pretty not to paint it.

FAIRY SKETCHES

Got tons of illustrations in my archive. With the help of Photoshop, a new design can be as simple as playing with existing images & patterns. By layering a finish illustration over a sketch, I can come up with a new idea pretty quickly.

BLUSTERY CLOUDS

I hope the blustery weather come across on this sketch.  It's actually delightful if one does not have to venture outside.
