Happy Hedgemas!

Yes, that's right - a cheesy title.

Here are some Christmas themed hedgehogs that I've been slowly working on for the past couple of days. Awww...look how fat they are!

Done in Illustrator + Photoshop
Used my own textures + free online textures

Process:

Step 1: hand- drawn sketch

Step 2: In Illustrator - inked with the paint tool and coloured with live paint

Step 3: In Photoshop - Added some grass and gradients to the hedgehogs

Step 5: Added lots of textures, still in Photoshop

Step 6: Added some shadow definition with the burn tool and levels mask brush.

 Done!
