“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!

Valentine’s Day Cartoon – Valentine’s Day Card

Valentine’s Day Cartoon – Valentine’s Day Card

Here is a funny little Valentine’s Day Cartoon for a Valentine’s card, with a cheeky little monster peeking out of the card and asking:
“Will you be my valentine?”

The illustration was created entirely as vector based artwork in Adobe Illustrator.
This card was also simultaneously created as an effective matching animated flash e-card with slight looping movement (eyes blinking, text fading in and out).

Will you be my valentine?

Unpredictable and Uncontrollable: Social Media – Illustration by Ian Marsden

Unpredictable and Uncontrollable: Social Media – Illustration by Ian Marsden

Social Media is striking fear and uncertainty into every marketing manager’s heart. When it goes right it’s fantastic, but at any given second it can go spiralling…
Campaigns that are launched and intended to go viral, turn into nightmares when they are twisted into memes, or hijacked for a contrary purpose of what they were intended for.

This humorous illustration was created to accompany an article in PUNKT Wirtschaftsmagazin.
