The background images were made in Illustrator and I put everything together in Fireworks. The image is a composite of components I drew in Illustrator and elements I purchased.
I will start making the actual images and coding tomorrow.
Here’s a bee I drew tonight. My favorite part about creating this drawing was forming the long legs complete with “pollen baskets.” The pollen coating looks a lot like fat socks. I think they makes the bee look very cute. I also like the way the wings turned out. They look very delicate. Again, I put this drawing on a background so the black details show.
I’m thinking of using this in the header art for Lovely items. I put the flower on a colored background because the drop shadow cannot be seen against the background of this blog.
