When I was doing my work ups for Carta Bella Paper Company's line Snow Fun I initially was going to take the line in a more contemporary direction. The theme was going to be all about kids and winter critters.
With this illustration I started to create characters, color palette, look and feel. Though the illustrations were well received in initial reviews we decided to go with a more 1960's retro style.
I had purchased a set of Vector Sketch brushes from Dustin Lee's RetroSupply.com, an amazing resource/online store for any illustrator or designer who wants to make their digital work look hand rendered.
I LOVE RetroSupply's lines of brushes (illustrator and Photoshop), textures, type fonts and cool stuff. I use them all the time in my work. Their products are really priced well, work well and they have great customer service. And if you need some help, many of their products have YouTube tutorials.
