Illustrations are fun to create and can be designed in any style, with many techniques that can add interest to the overall look.

















Creating multiple brushes, allowed for a differentiating texture throughout the cactus and blossom.

Adding depth to the caterpillar was done by using the 3-D tool.

The addition of shadows gives this apple and seeds a dimensional effect along with movement.

This landscape was drawn with the use of brushes that I created.

Adjusting the opacity of a layer adds a depth through the tree.


Complementary colors adds visual interest to this design.

The mesh tool was used by tracing a picture I took. The use of the eye dropper tool allowed for the image to have the colors from the photograph.

Gooburt is another mesh tool creation :)

The festive colors and taco texture give this image a fun and vibrant feel.


I love fortune cookies. My brother received this as a real fortune.

The feeling of a crisp fall day at the pumpkin patch, was achieved by using textures, masking, and the color scheme.


This is an illustration that I wanted to look like it was made with a woodblock.

I had this toad when I was kid. I never did end up with warts...

During Halloween, we create little tombstones with funny quotes. This is my husbands famous quote when he's watching a game and is supposed to be doing something else :)

The movement of bats is fascinating to watch. To some it may seem spooky.

I combined the traditional Japanese wave with an ancient Japanese wave icon, for a fun image with a lot of movement.
