More Zodiacs Finished...

I am 1/4 through the cute Zodiacs so far. 3 down, 9 to go. It is a long process but I have noticed how it is quicker and quicker for each one I complete. Since Illustrator still is quite new to me, I am learning as I go along. And every time I use it I find quicker ways of doing things and I am finally starting to feel quite confident in the software. I can't believe I have worked for so long without it. Using Illustrator and Photoshop together is absolutely amazing.

These are the three finished Zodiacs anyway, and I am super happy with all of them. I can't wait to print them on my phone cases and also make art prints out of them. They're just so colourful and full och life.

Aries Time Lapse...

Hope all of you have had a great weekend. I've spent all morning getting this Time Lapse ready for you lot. I finished the Aries Zodiac over the weekend and filmed the process. So I thought I'd share the video as well as the finished painting with you. This will become a print and also a phone case eventually. But there is 11 more Zodiacs to finish before the products will be up in the shop.

Aries...

 Here's what I'm working on at the moment. I showed you the photo below the other day and well here's the first completed lineart. The Aries... Yupp they are little eastern styled Zodiacs. I have worked hard on these and decided to come up with a shape that I could use for all of them. When I had found this I just scanned the shape and then had it printed 12 times, one for each zodiac. And here is a little taster of the first one.

I know the picture aint great but I've got allot to do as you can see. These will become little prints and postcards for Tomodachi Island and maybe phone cases too. Haven't decided just yet.

Yesterday I sat down and had a good read through tuns of Etsy posts on how to manage yourself and your business and really got a kick from reading it. Etsy is so amazing for supporting the creative people around the world and helping us out to put things into perspective. I think Etsy is one of the best things to ever happen to me. I feel like I am ready for a new year of business now and that I know how to structure for the future. Thank you Etsy!
