Tech Info- Sharpie sketch, Adobe Illustrator

I decided to break away from the comfort of my oatmeal sketchbook, watercolor and gouache this week. Instead I went retro and digital (Boy, is that contradictory!). I was looking through some old retro reference information for another project when the idea hit me for the creation of this retro looking piece. Almost reminds me of the illustrations in the old "Children's Highlights" magazine when I was a kid. Started with a sketch with a Sharpie, scanned it in, then started drawing over the top in Illustrator.

About Drawing Flies

I initiated the creation of this blog as a challenge. The challenge is to draw a fly a day for an entire year. Part of the challenge is the discipline to accomplish this every day and the other is to expand my creativity and to help find my artistic voice. The sky is the limit on how the flies will be created. You may have wondered, "why is he drawing flies?" My other hobby is fly fishing and fly tying. I also welcome the challenge of drawing the natural materials that are used in the flies. So hang on and enjoy the ride for the next 365 days!
