One day, Two posters.

Part time assignment from Anthon. Chinese traditional style, poster for CNY, vector, hand drew.

1. Sketch it up. I decided to use the lion-dance theme coz it's 100% Chinese style, and, there is a kind of competition called "Cai Qing", in which those lions are trying to climb up a ladder in the centre of the playground to fetch a scoll placed at the top of the ladder, the one who gets it will have luck and fortune for the next whole year.


2. I don't have a scaner so I just shot it and transfered in into my computer. Open Freehand, start to outline the lion head.


3. Fill up the closed areas, I call it colorize.


4. Add some shadow to some areas too make it look more 3D-like, detailize the entire head.


5. The complete work, hope Anthon will like it:)


The breif said they need two variations, so I created anthoer one.
