This illustration was created in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter with a Wacom Tablet.
The final Santa Illustration.
Beginning from top-left and ending at bottom-right, shows the progression of the illustration.
I created this for a stock art site. My plan was to leverage the initial illustration and create multiple versions to appeal to the stock art market. This version added Santa's List to the illustration.
A version of the illustration with Santa holding a sign. The idea would be to leave the sign blank (omit the "HO!HO!HO!"). The idea is that someone buying stock art could put their own messaging on the sign.
