Melbourne-based illustrator Rik Lee wrote in to let us know he has stayed busy and updated his blog with new work. I am digging the integration of illustration and simple typography in the piece above. That is a lot of drawing.

The gradient mesh in illustrator has been a bit of a mystery to me in when illustrating with vector graphics. This tutorial really shed some light on how to actually use the tool to create that ‘hyper-real’ look that some illustrators seem able to magically achieve.
Artist and illustrator Silene Audibert has some interesting nature-inspired pen and ink drawings posted to fuel your creative inspiration. They kind of remind me of magic root the little girl hides under her mother’s bed in the movie Pan’s Labyrinth.
Illustrator Kervin Brisseaux has been busy updating with some really kinetic and colorful imagery. Call it electro-dimensional if you will.
Savannah College of Art and Design graduate Sam Wolfe Connelly is creating some very nice illustration work combining original charcoal drawings with a digital finish.

Although it appears that Alex Cherry’s illustrations are created digitally, they maintain a tactile quality making them feel more like art than digital imaging. It could be that he is drawing and painting first, then scanning his hand-crafted work to complete digitally. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really say much of anything about him or how he operates on his website.
There is some good vector fun happening at Mini Cubby.
