I began with a sketch and ink inside of Painter 2019.

This first video is the preliminary sketch using a custom digital pencil, on scanned Roselle paper. As you can see from this photo of the paper, it has a definite toothy grain that stands out.

Unfortunately, my interaction within the Painter interface did not record. Hopefully that will be corrected with newer software in the future.

The next step was an export of the digitally inked file to Illustrator for color and cleanup.

This second video is the cleanup and coloring inside Illustrator. (You may want to watch this video at 3x speed)

I hope you've enjoyed watching my creative process going from one software to the other and ending up with a clean, clip art ready image to use in a project. Thank you for watching!
