Happy new year! Hope 2010 is off to a good start for you. I took some time earlier this week to get back to good old fashioned pencil-to-paper drawing, culling inspiration from one of my personal favorite sources, “Star Wars.” Uploaded to the Illustrations section of my portfolio, the new piece is a stylized interpretation of what Admiral Ackbar would look like in his “true” form: (very) fresh calamari!

The drawing was scanned at 300dpi at 8″ square. I colored the piece with my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet in Adobe Photoshop CS4, scanned the back of the paper at 8″x10″ and re-situated the drawing (to make the finished product suitable for prints).
