Die 2 Monate seit meinem letzten Newsletter waren Ã¤usserst interessant und aktiv.

Ich hatte das grosse VergnÃ¼gen mehrere neue Kunden begrÃ¼ssen zu dÃ¼rfen und an diversen spannenden Projekten sowohl als Zeichner, wie auch mit Ideen und KreativitÃ¤t beteiligt zu sein.

Hier sind einige ausgewÃ¤hlte HÃ¶hepunkte aus den letzten Wochen.

VERLAGE

Ich freue mich Richmond / Santillana als neuen Kunden zu begrÃ¼ssen. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit eine Serie von Illustrationen fÃ¼r Lehrmittel zu zeichnen.

KLICKEN SIE HIER um sich mein gesamtes Portfolio anzusehen.

DESIGN & LIZENZEN

Mit grosser Freude darf ich ankÃ¼ndigen, dass ich ein sechstes Objekt mit der Unterschrift ‘Marsden‘ zur Design Kollektion von RITZENHOFF hinzufÃ¼gen durfte. RITZENHOFF ist einer der fÃ¼hrenden deutschen Produzenten fÃ¼r TrinkglÃ¤ser.

http://www.ritzenhoff.de/catalogsearch/result/?q=marsden

Diesmal handelt es sich um ein Weizenbierglas mit Bierdeckeln mit einem lustigen kleinen Wikinger.

Alle meine Objekte im Ãœberblick:

WERBUNG

Ein weiterer Neukunde Ã¼ber den ich mich sehr freue, ist digades.

FÃ¼r eine tolle neue App die sich dfreeeze nennt, wurde ich beauftragt eine Serie von Illustrationen fÃ¼r Printwerbung und Plakate zu entwerfen. Mit dfreeeze kann man vom Smartphone aus die Standheizung im Auto fernsteuern.

https://www.dfreeeze.de/winter

Parallel zu den Printmedien wurden auch 2 Explainer Videos / Whiteboard Scribing Videos von mir produziert. Eines auf Englisch und eines auf Deutsch.

WHITEBOARD VIDEOS

Whiteboard EklÃ¤rvideos zur Werbekampagne die oben unter “Werbung” bereits erwÃ¤hnt wurde.

Je ein Englisches und ein Deutsches Whiteboard Scribing Explainer Video fÃ¼r den Kunden digades und ihre dfreeeze App produziert. Auf eine verspielte aber doch elegante Art wird erklÃ¤rt wie die App funktioniert.

WEB UND INTERAKTIV

Ein Projekt, wo es darum ging fÃ¼r GMX.net eine Reihe von animierten GIF Grusskarten zu entwerfen, hat sehr viel Spass gemacht. Die Sujets waren ‘Halloween‘, ‘Weihnachten‘ und ‘Silvester‘.

https://navigator.gmx.net/
(Sie brauchen ein GMX Benutzerkonto um die Karten zu sehen und zu verschicken)

PERSÃ–NLICHE PROJEKTE

Zu guter Letzt bin ich endlich auch wieder einmal dazu gekommen, in eigener Sache einige Tutorial Videos aufzunehmen, und auf meinen eigenen YouTube Kanal hochzuladen.

https://www.youtube.com/user/idmars10

In dieser neuen Serie von Videos zeige ich wie ich auf meinem Wacom Cintiq Zeichendisplay in Adobe Illustrator Software zeichne und illustriere.

Es gibt Videos wo ich Vektor Cartoon Illustrationen fÃ¼r Halloween zeichne. Es gibt einen Halloween KÃ¼rbis, eine Hexe oder Vampirlady und einen Werwolf .

In einem weiteren Video zeige ich wie ich einen Vektor Weihnachtsmann koloriere.

In den Videos spreche ich leider Englisch, aber ich denke fÃ¼r Leute die sich mit der Software auskennen ist es vielleicht trotzdem interessant meinem Arbeits-Prozess zu folgen.

Hiermit kommen wir zum Ende dieses neuesten Newsletter. Ich bedanke mich sehr fÃ¼r Ihr Interesse.

Ich bin ein unabhÃ¤ngiger und freischaffender Illustrator, Designer und Animator und ich bin fÃ¼r neue Projekte sehr gerne verfÃ¼gbar.

Meine Homepage mit meinem Portfolio befindet sich hier:
https://marsdenillustration.com

Trotz meines englischen Namen und dem amerikanischem Slang in den Videos, spreche ich auch Deutsch und SchwiizerdÃ¼tsch und ich freue mich von Ihnen zu hÃ¶ren. 🙂

EIne kurze Bio, eine Kundenliste und einige Referenzen finden Sie hier:
https://marsdenillustration.com/deutsch/

Ich habe auch eine Artist Page auf Facebook unter meinem Namen: Ian David Marsden
Es wÃ¼rde mich natÃ¼rlich freuen, wenn Sie mich “LIKEN” wÃ¼rden.

Nochmals vielen herzlichen Dank fÃ¼r Ihr Interesse und Ihre wertvolle Zeit, ich weiss es zu schÃ¤tzen.

Mit besten GrÃ¼ssen,

Halloween Monster Drawing Tutorial Videos in Adobe Illustrator

Just in time for Halloween: A brand new series of “How To Draw” videos where I show how I create a basic rough sketch in Autodesk SketchBook Pro software.
>LINK to software

This is what the rough sketch looked like when it was completed:

and then I placed this rough sketch on a template layer inside my Adobe Illustrator document and drew and inked the line art for the three characters, the Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin, the witch/vampire lady and the werewolf.
Finally I also colored the artwork in illustrator using flats and shading and also several gradients.

The final artwork looks like this and is 100% vector art so it has no pixels and can be scaled to any size losslessly.

Follow me along in the following tutorial videos. If you have any questions please post them as a comment under the videos in my YouTube channel and I will try to answer them as quickly as possible.
Also please don’t forget to like my Facebook page to stay updated about new projects and new videos I am uploading. Facebook is also a good way to get in touch with me if you have any questions about what I am doing in these videos.

A brand new beer glass design for RITZENHOFF.
A Weizenbier (white beer) glass with a fun original viking character created by artist and illustrator Ian David Marsden.

This high quality crystal RITZENHOFF Design Collection beer glass holds 500 ml and features a fun little viking character with a metallic gold helmet, sword and axe.
Left and right there is a floating, sparkling gold beer glass design.

The unique beer glass ships in a black Designer tube and includes 5 custom coasters to match the design with the designers signature on the back.
