Lawn tractor

I keep trying to draw things that I think I might need for projects. Maybe for signs, or T-shirt designs, or business cards, anything. I didn't have but one lawn tractor on hand that I drew a couple years ago, so I went to doing another one. This time I added a driver. That there is Cleotis. He has been driving lawn tractors all his life, and has cut grass from here to five miles down the road. Looks like he enjoys his job, doesn't he.

Panda Bear...

 I needed a Panda Bear for something I was working on, so I drew one up. Worked perfectly! Actually dont think I have ever drew a Panda Bear before. Something new every day!

Sketch and finish...

This will give you an idea of what a finished drawing looks like before its done and vice versa.

The rough sketch is on the left ready to take into illustrator and digitize with the drawing tools. Sometimes I go ahead and ink with a pen, then scan and open in illustrator and use the trace feature, then do the cleanup. But more and more, I have been taking the drawing into illy and using the pen tool to draw over the sketch. The lines are super clean and tight, and when you are doing vector, the cleaner and tighter you can get is best. I think Ill hop into my little truck and drive on down the road now....
