A beautiful or eye-catching illustration can often make or break modern landing pages. I have continued to practice illustration so that all images on a page stay consistent and to create custom graphic elements when a page would benefit from them.
Characters
As I have started practicing creating vector images in Adobe Illustrator more I have found myself drawn to creating different characters. It started with me creating a variety of Nintendo characters, but eventually I started creating some original and other create from old sketches I find in notebooks of mine.

Cartoon Style
I have been practicing an extra amount at creating overly cartoonish characters as it has been the easiest to work in for recreating Nintendo character’s styles. I eventually want to learn a variety of other styles of character design, but I have enjoyed learning this style with and emphasis on hard shadows and bubbly highlights.
