Teens and smoking

| | Comments (0)

This month's main story for the Takeover section is about teens smoking.

Here is my illustration.

I drew this in pencil first. And added color using Adobe photoshop. The idea came to me as I was looking at a photo of a cigarette. Otherwise, the concept just popped into my head.

Most of my ideas come to me like that.

I will use some photos for reference, but be warned copying a photo is a form of plagiarism and should be taken seriously.

I love Halloween. This year my Halloween picture finder pays homage to director Tim Burton.

My spooky scene is filled with ghoulish characters, a swirly hilltop, and some famous ghosts.

My picture finder will be in Saturday's York Daily Record.

But here is a sneak peek.

I love animals. I love drawing them even more, espcially turning them into cute cartoon characters. This is Nutters, I originally sketched him out in pencil and then drew him in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Here is the original sketch and the final cartoon.

One of my neighboring co-workers has a huge collection of coffee creamers sitting at her desk. I had some free time on my hands at lunch and decided to make a sculpture out of these assortment of creamers.

I titled this work of art: "Creamers of Melancholy"
