Illy

This is the first illustration I did as a graphic designer, so it only felt right to call it Illy. This image came from a photograph in which I used the pen tool and pencil tool to illustrate all of her features. If you look into her eyes, you can see the dispare - I believe I captured that as I wanted to.

Illustration of Model

I designed this illustration for a brother of mine. This was just his way of testing me, to see what I can do with the illustration program Illustrator CS2. I believe he was impressed.

My brother will probably be around more often for me to illustrate his models. I look forward to doing this and many more.

This was also submitted as a class project in class, the only thing different from this illustration and the one I submitted, is that the one I submitted has a background. I felt it wasn't necessary to post the one with the background.

This image took me 6 hours to do. It is a group of simple shapes in combination with the mesh tool. I like the mesh tool but I am beginning to feel as if it would have just been easier to place the solid colors onto the illustration and move the file into Photoshop CS2 and do the shadings. It came out nice. I hope to get some comments on this!

Lost and Found

OK...I have had this problem with logging in. I created this blog earlier this month, and today I finally realized how to log back in. I didn't know I had to use my e-mail address to log in. I had been using the name of the blog "EricDesignHouse" and password. Well anyways, I will try to put up some of my work, now that I know how to log in...

Blog Launch

Today, December 11th 2006, I have launched my blog. With the advice of one of my school instructors, I feel that this will be the best place to view my art work. I hope this to become a world of design that all can enjoy.
