Red, White and Blue


The theme for the week over at A fashionable Challenge is Red, White and Blue. Possibly one of my favorite colour combo's......EVER. Can't really say why I'm so in love with it, but my inspiration scrap book is full of red, white and blue pages...


......and this is just the highlights package, there actually more, a lot more;)

and this is how the drawing was born.......first a doodle on a piece of office scrap paper....then a pencil sketch......and finally the finished product, coloured in Photoshop.

I made the old pages in Photoshop using this awesome tutorial from PSHero.

  2. Love the background color and the style. :) Your work is just so fashionable, and I could totally see stuff like that on Zara's t-shirt prints.

  4. Whoa! Very, very cool tutorial and effect that you've added to your wonderful illustration - she is super! This is one of your best pieces! The whole red/white/blue theme (nautical) with the compass rose and texture work so well together..and such a great posture she has. Great stuff, Danette!!

    How do you obtain such a perfect black line?
