Recently I was asked by an ice cream shop no where near where I live to create a poster for their 2 year anniversary. They are called Strawberry Fields. I was pretty happy with the request because it seemed I was hired from the nice person at the shop coming across my older works and wanting me to create a landscape like scene similiar to things I’ve done before but a strawberry field instead. I haven’t done a landscape like this before and I’m pretty happy with the final outcome. It does look much better in large scale so please click on the top image to catch most of the detail. The print is a digital print and measures 18in-24in. Below you can view a photos from the process of drawing the main drawing.
My work desk in my studio. Was also working on painting a logo for another project at the same time.
Below this pen drawing is a larger sketch of where I want things to be placed. After I pencil draw that in I start to ink it up.
Here’s the first initial sketch for the poster.
