   Wow, it's been awhile since i posted something! So here is a little exercise i did to help me get faster at illustrating. It's based on a cool little boat set you can get at Target.

   You can see the full version and the toy here: http://www.illustrationaday.com/2011/07/captain.html

    Thank you so much everyone!!:)

    Andrew: I used some photoshop brushes that i've acquired over the years. I think a lot of them were found through smashing magazine.

    @Matt, so was the illustration created in Photoshop? It looks very "vector-ish".

    Yep, it was created in photoshop this time. I do use Illustrator sometimes but this time I created everything using the brush tool in PS.
