I start working in 5 weeks and I figured I would use that time to practice coloring on the computer. I found this old sketch on the blog and thought it would be a good start. Heh... didn't really think that it would take as long as it did... but the more I do it the quicker I'll get I guess.
I wanted to make a picture without outlines, since I so seldom do.
In the beginning of autumn I got my first illustration freelance job, which was to do 4 illustrations for Björnekullas homepage. Björnekulla is a company that makes jam and I sort of got the job by accident during my last day of the internship at the ad agency in Malmö. Although I've never really drawn on the computer I decided to do the illustrations in PS... but it turned out ok.
Anywhoooo... as most my drawings, I've added this to the shop too, thought it would be fun as a t-shirt maybe? Or as a pillow for a kids room. I decided to make the t-shirt version in black and white, it looked to kindergardeny otherwise :)
Utrolig fint! Jeg kunne godt tenkt meg den som pute! Du får til alt du prøver på, ser det ut som!
ReplyDeleteHaha, tack det var snällt sagt!
DeleteSå fin, vill ha!
ReplyDeleteSå himla himla fint! Älskar girafferna och det lilla mumin-inspirerade tornet!
ReplyDeleteTack :) Jag var lite rädd att mina följare skulle tänka "vad fan är det här" och var är de gamla vanliga svartvita illustrationerna?
DeleteDu är fantastisk.
ReplyDeletenämen...
DeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE THE CUSHION..NEED IT NOW....WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT IT!
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity: how large is the original drawing? How much room do you need to get in all the detail?
ReplyDeleteHi, the original is an A4 (30x21 cm) but I scanned it to 200% of it's original size. The main drawing is a little fuzzy and diffly when you zoom into the details.
DeleteUlrika, I'm so happy for you! And you are really good with colours as well. I think, this drawing would be nice as a carpets. Or curtains. Or bed clothes. Or anything else :)
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl!
Wish you all the best!
ÄLSKAR kudden!!! Skitfint :)
ReplyDeleteThe way you put colors made it become even more beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteJättefin bild! Blev grymt snyggt som kudde.
ReplyDeleteI love your work , the colours you used are so pretty, I wish my work turned out this good when I tried to paint using Photoshop haha
ReplyDeletex
Congraulations on your new job :)
ReplyDeleteHei! Kjempefin illustrasjon! Det ser ut som du har brukt fargeblyanter også, har du det? Tegner du på det til slutt, eller gjør du det undeveis? Skulle gjerne likt å sett hvordan du går fram, for det ble et fint og delikat resultat!
ReplyDeleteJag gillar det här! Känns som en bra blandning av ursvenskt och tropiskt. Får också Emil-vibbar och förväntar mig hela tiden att en dörr ska öppnas med ett vrål och att något av boskapen ska smita upp på taket.
ReplyDeleteFyren och det lilla huset med kaxigt välvt tak längst ner är underbara detaljer.
