Another piece to add to my portfolio, the idea behind this illustration was to celebrate the wonderful blessing it is to have a family and a place to call home. In this digital piece you might notice a tiny bit of the influence of Retta Scott and Mary Blair who were uber-talented Disney storybook artists and animators. For some of my illustrations, I like to start vectoring in Illustrator and then bring it into Photoshop for better freedom with textures, effects, and shading. –S.
