Iconic Retro Style Holiday Illustration

Iconic Retro Style Holiday Illustration - student project

First version (no texture). This one’s very much outside of my comfort zone! I love texture in my digital art and the ‘iconic’ style of illustrating isn’t my usual style but it’s fun to try something new and stretch myself. Iconic Retro Style Holiday Illustration - image 1 - student project

This is the second version with all the added texture! Much more to my taste although I think I may also do a third version using more of my usual style of illustration to see what that looks like. Iconic Retro Style Holiday Illustration - image 2 - student project

And finally here’s my bonus Scandinavian star chain brush :)Iconic Retro Style Holiday Illustration - image 3 - student project

 

Updated:

I made a few colour changes and re-drew the illustrations in more of my natural style. Two versions for this one too, one still textured but flatter and the second with more shading.

A wonderful class that inspired hours of creativity from me! Thank you Jutta :)
