Central illustration Agency Calendar

Lolly Illustration

Something to lick your lips on, a illustration for the my agency Central Illustration who represent my work, each year the agency ask the illustration artists to create artworks for the CIA calendar. This year we were given a sentence ‘If I were’ the sentence would form the bases of the illustration. The brief was very open to us, we were asked to use the sentence and interpret it in any way we wished.

I chose to illustrate a lollypop, which I wish I were. I chose to create something which was quirky and a little different from the fine intricate illustration work I create. I illustrated a selection of classic candy which you can find in any good sweet shop, and illustrated the sweets using Adobe illustrator. I combined the sweet icons and with little dots to create the lollypop candy stick.
