Hmm... from this submission onwards, I will be posting a series of artworks from my "Pepper Project". It is a self initiated project for personal exploration of different styles and illustration techniques. And of cos...the common element for this project is a female character named Pepper, who also double up as a friendly mascot of my design agency.
This piece is done solely in Freehand 9. It is pretty challengin to me but I had lotsa fun with the vector blending stuffs.
Especially withe shading and highlights.
How did you add the shades on the face and the gloss on the lips? I just started doing vector arts.
