Dynamic Brushes

When I was approached to illustrate a book on the recycling of plastic bottles, I looked for inspiration in one of my favorite children’s books. It’s a French book called “Prout de Mammouth” illustrated by Anna Laura Cantone, full of raucous humour, pasted papers, punched holes and machine stitching on every page. I set out to try and create similar effects – digitally.

These became the very first DYNAMIC Photoshop brushes I had ever created. I still use these a lot today. Here’s the illustration I came up with, which was rendered completely digitally.
