It's become some kind of tradition to do a Robin Hood poster every summer. I picked up a lot of vector tricks in the past year, due to spending a buttload of hours in Illustrator, between real work and classwork and friends' wedding invitations and senior art show stuff (and self-indulgent side projects, and the list goes on.)

So, here's the third annual illustration of my favorite outlaw dude in lincoln green. Same color scheme, same general concept, same gold text shoved in a corner somewhere (though there are more words, this time.) I painted last year's Robin in SAI, because really anything would have been an improvement on the boring Robin of 2010, but this year I wanted to design something I could polish the crap out of. Line art is time-consuming and I wasted a lot of time blocking out background shapes/colors before redrawing everything in vectors (thankfully the live trace function treats lineart okay) but it worked out all right in the end. Learning stuff about my process and what is fun versus frustrating.

Progress gif's up on my tumblr if you want to see all the stages of nonsense this went through!
