An illustration line has started since my participation in “Mint-flavored Lion” contest. It was demanded to create a lion image. Thus, I have decided to attempt to illustrate it more volumetrically and realistic. That work (Mint-flavored Lion) has received high accolades and responses from designers-co-workers on different websites. That was a success.

Then, I had decided to continue drawing similar illustrations and made an owl and a deer. I have noticed that flowers and leafs were used as a background on new iPhones. Thus, I assumed that using these illustrations would be nice for iPhone’s wallpapers. I used Photoshop on the graphic tablet Wacom in order to draw illustrations. Likewise, I searched for different animal pictures and analyzed them. It was important to understand all identities of each animal, so that those identities were not lost during the stylization process. Now, a tiger illustration is done; it will be depicted on the label. Probably, there will be another line of similar illustrations for that product shortly after. However I have not started it yet.
