Since my illustrations have definitely taken a vector slant recently, I was happy to stumble across Blood Sweat Vector. It is a blog authored by vector artists. It is about a year and a half old and the posts are centered on the world of vector art…a world where I am currently a member. They have recently become part of my RSS feed. At some point, maybe I can become a contributor…seems possible.

I came across Veronica Navarro’s work through my Behance network. The above work is not on her site yet, but I think it is a great example of her style. I like how there is so much emotion in her portraits. Portraiture can often seem very dry and straightforward, but she amps up the emotion with a quality I can’t quite put my finger on. I think it has something to do with the way she draws eyes. You feel like you are being drawn into the illustration. Amazing work!
