Wo Wohnt Roger Federer ? Illustration by Ian Marsden
Illustration von Ian Marsden
Wie schnell hätte Usain Bolt im Olympia-Final über 100 Meter laufen können? Wo wohnt Roger Federer? Wer hat Fabian Cancellara den crème-farbenen Anzug aufgeschwatzt den er an den Sports Awards trug? Was ist aus Lindsey Vonns Kuh und Christian Stucki’s Muni geworden?

Illustrator Portfolio as PDF file – download illustration portfolioHere is a short YouTube video in which I very briefly show how I created the Irish Players for the new ‘Footballheroes See Red’ book using my drawing of Paul Mc Shane as an example.
I click through some of the layers and talk very briefly about some of the software used.
In the case of the Republic of Ireland team, I started with rough pencil sketches which I then scanned and imported into Adobe Illustrator CS3.
I created all my black line work in Illustrator using the pressure sensitivity from the Wacom tablet to give me the stroke widths and the right look and feel for my lines.
The Footballheroes books are printed in such high quality and on such top-notch paper that I wanted everything to look as sharp as possible.
Finally I imported the lines into Corel Painter IX.5 and colored the players using digital watercolor.
Final artwork was delivered as 300 ppi TIFF files.
The reason Paul Mc Shane is wearing a suit and a band-aid is because I wanted all of the team members to look like characters from a classic gangster movie. Why? I don’t know.
Cartoonist and Illustrator Ian Marsden explains in a very basic way how he draws and paints cartoons in Corel Painter software.
How to draw and color cartoons in Corel Painter software Part II – Ian MarsdenIt was my great pleasure to draw a cartoon Holiday Card for the local Mairie this year. Although it doesn’t really snow very frequently in the south of France, I used some wishful thinking to give Santa Claus and Rudolph something soft to land on.
As the region produces some really fantastic wines (if you have not yet tried a Languedoc-Roussillon rosé or red you are in for a treat!) it seemed only fitting that Santa would find a nice bottle left for him by the local people.
The drawing itself is a pen and ink drawing on paper which I later colorized in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Corel Painter 9.5
J’ai eu le grand plaisir et honneur de dessiner la carte de voeux 2007 pour la mairie de Vacqières (Hérault, Languedoc-Roussillon)

I created most of the masks in Illustrator before I started painting in Photoshop.
While I was working on this piece, I thought back to the days when I would have had to cut each mask out of Friskfilm, wait for the layers to dry, and constantly wash out my airbrushes to make sure that the colors didn’t mix. I still have several of my old airbrushes in my studio, but they are purely ornamental at this point. I love Photoshop! Who would have thought back then that one day you could do the same job, without a mask, compressor, paint, brushes, mess, and ripping your hair out if you made a mistake or if your original got lost or damaged.
Photorealistic Digital Airbrush Illustration in PhotoshopHere is a fun little flyer I just created for the singer Claudia Wicki. The digital oil painting was made in Corel Painter 9.5. I am quite pleased how the piece turned out.
