\"\"Digital Doodles<\/strong>
\nThis category contains some of the digital doodles I do during downtime. It may be while I am waiting for some data to process at work or when the internet proves to be particularly boring. Most of these are done in a vector format built shape by shape in programs like Adobe Illustrator<\/em> or Affinity Designer<\/em>. Others are photo collages or composites made in photo editing software like Photoshop<\/em> or Affinity Photo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A lot of this work is just scratching around looking for ideas, but there are other, more more finished works like The Halloween Heads<\/em><\/a> or book covers I have done. They all involve the same processes and the same software. It’s all a matter of me playing with colors, textures and shapes and drafting a cartoon or illustration.<\/p>\n
