Initial illustration of Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick', used when clean style was required.

Details added for blush coloration and spotting.

Revised for grayscale print, for the society's brochure. At this stage, the file is still completely vector.

Final fleshed out illustration, Echeveria agavoides ‘Lipstick’ succulent. The pot, pebbles, and background were illustrated using Adobe Illustrator and a Wacom Cintiq. The wood was converted to vector from a photograph. The background is a gradient mesh. All were transferred to Photoshop for many layers of masking and lighting/color adjustments.
