Viewing Post from: Art In A Busy World
Finding time for Art when you have a 9 to 5, bills, rent, young kid's, a wife, and that occasional freelance assignment that you wish would come around more often. $,$,$, time, time, time. Wish I had more of both, but I do manage to make time for art. Even if it's just to doodle in my sketch book daily. Inspiration will eventually strike and somehow, when it does, I find the time I need to do what it is I'm inspired to do. I don't know how I find that time but I do.
This is one of the type of illustration assignments I wished would come around more often. It was like illustrating an old pulp adventure story.

I used Sketchbook Pro through out. I was on a tight schedule to finish three illustrations in a short time so for the sake of speed and wanting the final illustrations to have a similar look I painted them digitally. The only thing is that I wished I had something other than a digital image for finished artwork.
The final printed image looks a bit washed out because of the paper that it was printed on. Something to keep in mind when I do another assignment for this publisher- keep the design and the color and values simple so that it reads better when printed.
