“The Pianist” Freehand Sketch in Photoshop for my Facebook Page

A quick and rough digital cartoon scribble in Photoshop for my Facebook Page.

My Facebook page is HERE by the way, hint hint, if you feel like giving it a “Like” :)

Here is an image of the final result and also a YouTube video of the entire drawing process, uncut.

This sketch was made in under 30 Minutes but for the purpose of the video I sped the action up to around 9 Minutes.

I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!

Retro Style Illustrated Advertising Poster Art

Retro Style Illustrated Advertising Poster Art

This was a fun project to create an old-fashioned style advertising poster for a fictitious ‘ELECTRON’ brand chain of “electric’ car charging stations.
The nostalgic fifties feel was enhanced by having an old Peugeot 403 with it’s little electric flap open in the front, ready to be charged fully by the smiling and attentive pin-up girl gas station attendant.

I tried to design the actual logo and little mascot for ELECTRON in a style fitting and adhering to classic fifties logo and character design to add to the semi-authentic feel.

This piece was printed as a poster run and was also a portfolio piece to showcase my work. It was created entirely as vector art in Adobe Illustrator using a Wacom Cintiq display.

Below are a few examples for character designs and line art illustrations that were developed for a comic strip for internal company publications. The style was to be clean and fun but also remain business like.
Clean line art, kept in black and white, with a few corporate spot colors. The story concepts would revolve around actual office themes and current projects, and sometimes also contain lighthearted tips and reminders.

Such custom designed spot illustrations can lighten up even rather dry copy and focus your attention on important passages. What’s more is that often the fee for a custom created series of illustrations is pretty much the same as what you would expect to pay for pre-existing stock art images. Except of course they look and feel custom tailored to your project and therefore elevate the production value considerably.

Café Poster – Cardboard Cutouts
Vector Artwork in Adobe Illustrator

Café Cardboard Cutout Poster by Ian David Marsden

This was a fun illustration project to be used as a poster and also menu card cover and take-out menu cover for a restaurant / café.
The idea was to make it look like a children’s cardboard cutout game or an arts and crafts project. The artwork was created as 100% vector art in Adobe Illustrator CS5.
