Top Dog cardboard dummy

Couple of days ago I visited a publisher to talk about my upcoming project. I was delighted to see a cardboard dummy they had made from the Top Dog character I illustrated for a school book.

Croquis drawing with iPad and Adobe Idea

Even though I felt like disgracing the honorable tradition of croquis drawing, I took my iPad with me and tested the Adobe Idea software I had just purchased. No paper, no pencil or any other tangible drawing instrument. Just my finger and the cold surface of iPad screen. It wasn't very fluent. I struggled a lot and had a constant urge to grab my pens and drawing pad, but I didn't give up. In the end it wasn't THAT hopeless. I certainly will give it another chance.
