Hello Kendyll! I'm following you for a long time now but since I have a YT account now I can thank you for your channel :-) Your work is amazing and very inspiring. I love watching your work and advice on the illustration business even if it's not my job but your advice speak for a lot of artists. Have a great summer and wish all the best. Coral from Prague
Absolutely stunning Kendyll! What an accomplishment. I would have been quaking in my shoes. The pieces look like fresh, luscious fruit! Congratulations!
Thank you for such a wonderful vlog! It is so good to learn about the whole process, I found it really interesting, and your illustrations are so perfect! 🤗
I really enjoyed seeing the real life sizes of these drawings. I wouldn't have guessed they'd be so large from the packaging itself. Can't wait to find these on my store shelves!
Nice video, I found it pretty informative as a general reference into your process. I would have liked to see still shots/ close ups of your finished pieces though so I could take in the lovely fine details. Questions: Did you send the clients unedited shots of your finished work or did you clean them up digitally at all? Also when doing multiples of the same pieces do you freehand sketch or print out line work duplicates to go from? Thanks for your time!
I loved your vlog. Thank you so much for sharing. I am also creating a packaging/labelling project for a bakery and was going to do it in photoshop but after your video, deeply considering drawing it instead. My question is what file format did your client need? I usually give them eps and pdf from an illustrator file, but in this case, I wanted to know your steps please. Thank you for your time and I am so glad to have found your youtube channel and instagram site.
Anyone know when youre doing this type of commercial illustration, how would you get the reference? like for the peach...blueberries...can you use reference from photos online? its hard to image the details and shadows.
Do you have a large format scanner or did you have them scanned somewhere else? Forgive me if this is a repeat question. I'm a relatively new subscriber.
These are incredibly beautiful! I was wondering, do you ever get permission to use client illustrations like these in your own products like cards or prints? Does it just depend on the client and what kind of contract you sign?
Hi Matt, I've talked about this a lot in videos over the years. If you search "references" or "reference image" on my channel that should bring some of the videos up. Short answer: a combination of my own photos, client-supplied photos, public domain image libraries and (very, very rarely) licensed images.
