Christmas Card 2016

Friday sketch: Merry Christmas everyone! Who needs a sleigh and reindeer when you have a tree?

Sketched in Adobe Sketch on iPad Pro, inked in Adobe Draw on iPad Pro, flat colour partly applied in Adobe Draw then exported to Adobe Illustrator on a PC. The imported vector paths were too messy to do clipping mask based / draw inside shading in Illustrator so I exported it to Adobe Photoshop to finish the shading. Which was done with a Wacom Cintiq 22 inch HD tablet.

Friday sketch is a weekly challenge I set myself to create and share one personal, just for fun piece of artwork. I've been doing this since 2012. It makes me find time among paid projects to play and keep drawing just for the fun of it.
