Work + Process: Emblem(s)

My boyfriend asked me if I could help him make an emblem for him and his skiing buddies so they could get stickers to put on their equipment. I thought it would be fun to post the process and result! I started the project before moving- and unfortunately the stickers were lost in the mail (!!!), though Moo, being the awesome company they are- resent them for no additional charge! Thanks Moo!

Now here is the process and result!

Started by sketching on paper and talking about the idea together while cooking dinner, messily and lose! Just to get the general elements down. (Very beautiful illustrations...)

Sketched some variations digitally and sent them to be reviewed. They chose the close-up of the reindeer and the coffee cup!

Vectorised in them in grayscale in AI and then converted to color with a lot of different color variations. (The color variations were inspired by the lovely Fjällraven bags!) They ended up choosing three out of the four color variations I sent of them because they couldn't decide on just one.

(Take with my phone camera so colors are a little off!)

Finished stickers! 8-9 of each of a batch of 52 round stickers from Moo. It ended up being 15£ (shipping included in price) with the 10% from my referral! ♥ All in all a really fun little project.

Phew! 

Summer holidays are exhausting, but super fun. It's nice to visit old friends! Here is an illustration I did before leaving for my holiday in Manchester and London- just something to show while compiling the travel post!

I am taking a small breather in the new apartment, unpacking and cleaning before we go to Lofoten in the end of this week for a camping/road trip. I'm hoping to get some drawing done and go on a hiking trip!

Witches: short-comic!

I have finally put something up on on my portfolio: A mini-comic I sketched last summer/autumn and edited this winter! It was an experiment in doing comics by hand and I finally finished it ♥

You can read it here.

I took some photos when working on it and the whole "experiment" was basically just dividing up the comic frames on separate pieces of paper and then combining them on a last and final drawn up sheet. The thought was, if I struggled with one frame I could just scrap it, measure up a new frame and start over! Pretty simple stuff, but it made a lot of difference.

Materials used: 0.7+0.9 Mech pencils, A4 printer paper (so fancy!) and PS.
