Illustrator Notes
Do you like to draw or paint?
Soon I will post photos/videos of the process I used to illustrate Gabby the Chicken. These 5 Illustrator Tips will feature some techniques for artists of all ages. I welcome your own creative ideas and hope you share your chicken masterpiece in Gabby’s Gallina Gallery. Upload to info@gabbythechicken.com.
Getting Started
Gabby is drawn from my imagination and since she’s a cartoon-type character, I take liberties and exaggerate her body, especially her facial expressions.
Below is the first stage, called underpainting, showing the wash effect on the sky. And the bottom image is the completed scene.
