This first illustration, which is called "Hairy Hearts," has allowed me to practice a lot with Adobe Illustrator for the creation of my "little heart of plush." I wanted to get a very realistic effect and in this I was helped by a tutorial read some time ago (link here).

Retrospective is my first public Wordpress theme. Made available to Access All Areas on Blog.SpoonGraphics (http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/premium/retrospective-wordpress-theme-for-premium-members)

This is part of another project I am working on, but on that one it is just a little tiny piece in each corner. I thought it could stand alone, too.

Created using this tutorial: blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-create-an-intri...

Just messing with Vectors and blending. Used PhotoShop and Illustrator to make the image. Thanks blog.spoongraphics.co.uk for the inspiration and vector circles.

Tried out a tutorial from Spoon Graphics. Made using GIMP. The version with added texture is here.

Jaguar XK140, I took this photo at a local car fair and decided to use it to try out a tutorial from - blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-create-a-washed...

Way less sexy than the previous couple so far, but I had no idea how brushes or clipping masks worked correctly in Illustrator.

Also, this is a very cool way of learning how to do what looks like a double-stroke.

Tutorial I used for this is located here: www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/creating-road-maps...

Thanks to blog.spoongraphics.co.uk for the light leak texture.

Just trying to teach myself a bit of Illustrator since I've never got on with it before.

Tutorial is from here www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/illustrator-tutori...

and is a pretty good one if I could knock this off in about an hour and a half with no previous Illustrator skill to talk of.

24 Light leaks (Textures from Spoon Graphics)

After going through these (1,2,3,4) tutorials, this is my very own monster.

blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/articles/fun-magazine-cover-dood...

Above, is a Vouge magazine cover, which has illustrations sprawled over the model. The illustrations are bright and minimalistic, and composed of block colours. In juxtaposition to the black and white magazine cover. These simple yet exciting illustrations bring life to the magazine cover. This has been produced by Ana Strumpf who is a designer, illustrator, an interior and product designer and a Vogue Columnist from Brazil.

I was following the tutorial here and was at the stage of adding the noise, so the last stage, when I decided it would be a really good idea to strip the colours out of the looks-like-no-noise-on-this-planet noise (because I have old-school PSP and so most things involve a workaround), when I remembered just after blurring it, and thereby ditching all prior cached undos, that greyscale applies to the whole thing not just that layer. There go the artfully shaped light leaks. Guess who hadn't been doing that always-save-your-work thing.
