ABOUT

The brief was to create illustrations for a yarn Advent box for Bad Sheep Yarn, with the theme "Christmas at the Yarn Shop". The art needed to capture the hominess of a yarn shop on Christmas Eve, with a shopfront and lots of little details outside and inside.
The artwork created was used on the front of the box, the inside flaps of the box, the front of the drawers, as well as the back of the box. The client also incorporate some of the illustrations into gift items inside the box, including using the art from the front of the box to make a small jigsaw puzzle, and pulling out some fun elements to make small metal stitch savers, pins and stickers.
The art was hand painted using acrylic gouache, scanned and edited in Photoshop, with some details drawn in Photoshop.
