I must disappoint or reassure those who think I entirely switched to vector art. In fact I love to change styles every now and then, depending on the medium I’m designing for.
This crested tit appears on a postcard I made for my parents. For the past 5 years or so I have designed a christmas card for them. It’s fun and satisfying to do. I love the idea that they still send out these signs of kindness and well wishes every year.
If you swipe you’ll see the analog ink drawings I start with, and the washed ink ‘blobs’ that are layered afterwards in the bird drawing and in the landscape. I scan them all in and assemble and colour them on my computer. I used Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher, my favorite apps at the moment.
This one fits in the series of postcards with birds I have in my shop.
