old work from Astrid
Which old work was a turning point, we ask ourselves. Hm. I think I keep getting turning points, whenever I experiment with new techniques and happen to get lucky. Sometimes though, experimenting also brings me back to my previous approach.
Here's one of my recent turning points. I start with vector, import into Photoshop and add airbrush shading, then move to Corel Painter and add real-paint-look swirlies of movement. I might have shown work of this style before, but this piece here is a new one, done for the British magazine You & Your Wedding.
Looking at this new style just makes me happy. What better can happen to us illustrators ?! Apart from winning the lottery of course ;-)

Wow, it looks like you go through as many steps as someone working "old school." It always amazes me what can be accomplished with the computer and a great sense of design. Great job Astrid.
aw, thanks dee! blush =)
I agree with Dee, I'm so amazed at what you can do digitally. There is so much texture and your work really jumps off the page. This piece has such great lines - you could stare at it all day long!
