Tea Time!
I really loved the first theme of cuckoo clocks for the MATS Bootcamp assignment for February. In a few of my doodles I explored teapot clocks inspired by the dormouse from Alice in Wonderland. I decided to flesh out some of my sketches after joining a Facebook group spinoff that posed "assignments" every month or so. It's more of a way to stay self motivated without actually committing to another class. I've found it very inspiring networking with so many other talented people who are in a similar boat as I am (wanting to do more creative work but are either too busy with family life or have a full time job that is not illustration). I've probably done more personal work and sketching in the past couple months than I did all last year!

MATS Bootcamp – March 2014
Below you'll find my final piece with close ups of the individual patterns. I also started in a different direction which I'll post sometime in the future. I have also been working on expanding on the cuckoo clock theme from February which I really enjoyed. Hopefully more to come on that soon!

Hula Girls
really liked how these looked like as a sketch so I did a trace in Illustrator then added color and texture (in Photoshop). I wanted to try something different so I used triangles to give it texture. I like the effect but maybe I should have been more subtle. I may revisit these later. I feel like I want to give it a similar treatment as my other mini geisha illustrations.

Tropical Girls
This is an illustration I did based on a few sketchbook doodles. I wanted to blend Illustrator and Photoshop by creating the base images as vector and adding layers of textures and overlays in Photoshop.
