Adobe Illustrator - Day 15

Today it was already much easier to draw my mascot from yesterday. - Despite the little joy with the triangle, it took only half the time to create the illustration below. There are still some tiny differences to the original, but this is simply a question of practice. Unfortunately I "cheated" a little bit using Photoshop for the hands behind the triangle, since the implementation for this purpose became less complicated and time consuming (It is no longer a vector file.). But this is not so important, because the triangle is just a photo and not made with Illustrator. The illustration is therefore limited by the pixels and sharpness of the triangle anyway.

Adobe Illustrator - Day 14

Even though my new little "mascot" might look simple and ordinary, the implementation in Illustrator still took more than two hours! - Just because I was very undecided with the hands, the arms and also with details like the hair. But I am positive that I will be able to draw this fella quicker the next time, since I know the correct proportions and the style now. My goal is to learn, how to show different moods or feelings with a cartoon character like this one. - So do not be surprised when my mascot suddenly appears again in this blog!
