Muscles versus motors

This is my new promo illustration that´s

going to be printed on postcards and distributed

by the IO Illustratoren Organisation.

Ever since I started doing a lot of my illustrations

completely digital I was a bit torn between a

contour-based, "classic" drawing style and a

more spacious, flat color way of composing my

images. I think I now found a nice

middle course between using flat, bold colors

(which on their own can look a bit too digital)

and line-based accents, and adding contrast

by using a lot of darker tones over lighter

ones. I love being able to go deeper and deeper

into the details, pouring on little bits that

reward a second and third look.

The trike and kart were

the most fun part ;)
