Every year the All The Best Petcare chain of pet supply stores partners with a local Seattle area illustrator to create designs for a totebag they use as a giveaway for loyal customers. This year I was selected for the job.

The brief was to create a design for each side of the tote bag. One side would feature cats, the other dogs. As usual I planned to come up with 3 rough concepts to pitch. Above are some extra rough thumbnails I did before moving onto higher fidelity sketches.
