Decidedly more “kiddish” this monstrosity of a Photoshop sketch was made free-hand using a Wacom Graphire4 tablet using some of the default CS3 brushes. It was less than 10 minutes of work (and it shows!). Flipping through channels I came across an episode of Blues Clues and was stricken by the simplicity of the visual treatment. Everything had this textural feel with thick cartoonish outlines with 3D bevelling and subtle drop-shadows. It looks like someone took textured papers and assembled them over other pieces of colored and textured paper, and it was a look I wanted to emulate for some reason.
It didn’t turn out how I wanted it, and I daresay it probably won’t receive any further attention in my notebook, but it was a daily sketch. I’ll take the bad and the good!
