Birthday Card Illustration

Got asked to do some cartoony beefcake art for a birthday card. Besides having to google image search muscle men, it was a lot of fun to do.

I thought I'd also use the opportunity to show my step-by-step process for illustrations:

initial (bad) sketch

refined sketch

outlines

color outlines

colored in

shadows

highlights

tweaks/finishing touches based on client input ("his boob is too big")

If anyone else wants custom art for a birthday card, sexy or non-sexy, don't hesitate to get in touch!
