ILLUSTRATIVE VECTOR SERIES

A running list of illustrative, vector-style painting ideas. Some are new, others are older pieces I think could be better if I came back to them in this style.

I am trying to find a balance between realism and illustrative. I can do realism, but I don’t particularly enjoy it. It feels like a chore.

Working as vectors isn’t exactly an escape from labor. Building an interesting illustration can take forever, and I’m never quite sure when an image is rich and complex enoughβ€”or when it’s still just a clumsy digital doodle.

But I enjoy thinking this way more, and the finished images have another advantage: they’re already built to become stickers, shirts, prints and other things if I want them to.

Audiences seem to respond well to both approaches. Maybe a little more to this one.
