The illustration was created by first drawing the sand castle by hand with inks in a stippling style. I then scan the illustration and use the image trace tool in illustrator to vectorise the drawing. 

Inspired by the summer days of going to the seaside.

My most cherished childhood memories were when my father took me and my siblings to Whitby. I didn't realise just how fond of the beach I was until I recently started going again. The warm sand on your toes, the sugary fried donuts, the mermaid’s call of the waves and who can forget the 2p machines.

There is nothing more blissful than an amble by the seashore. Squabbling seagulls flying overhead. Strolling down shaw, the hot sun kissing your bare skin with an 99p cone melting down your hand. Seeing the fishermen with their catch of the day - buying some scallops for tonights tea. The sand castle is made up of dots as if made of sand. Sat in the middle of the page, on a pale blue background.

The video above shows the original hand drawn drawing and the final vector illustration.
