Life Beyond Khakis

The image above is an exercise in illustration that I did for a random magazine article entitled "Life Beyond Khakis". Over the summer I revisted my love for drawing. Just read an article yesterday on how doodling helps keeps creativity fresh. For a lot of my rough work like quick figure sketchs they tend to grow on me over time. I did a quick sketch of a lady standing in a very boring pose and found it to so ugly. I left it on my desk all day yesterday and used it as a notepad for live-area and bleed measurements for the current Ad Campaign project. As I looked at it more often, I started to like the drawing more and more. Same with the img above, I did it about three months ago. I like it more and more everytime I see it. I think it is because my design work and illustration work are opposites. I like clean, simple layout and design and my illustration style is loose, messy and unorganized.
