'Plant Beakers' Illustration for Print Shop and Creation Process

Here is a new experimental illustration that I will add to a new shop of prints and a range of designs I'm working on.

Follow my other artwork at my site.

The process for making it was as follows:

• Create cylindrical shapes to use as guides for later, using vector and pen tool in adobe illustrator, positioning them on the page.
• Send that image file to Procreate drawing app in my ipad.
• Sketching the other shapes like leaves onto a new layer above the cylinders with apple pencil.
• Inking with black digital line the full linework with apple pencil.
• Transfering that layer of black 'ink' linework as a transparent png back to Illustrator.
• Colouring using swatches and gradient tool a layer beneath the linework.
• Exporting as a final image in png or jpeg.
