Personal Practice: Business card

So I made this business card quite early on. I wanted to run with the nature theme  in my work recently but I also wanted it to convey my style and what I like to do. I think the plant monster works because theres room for saliva and lots of texture with the natural bits. I made the tongue a pull out tab that would display the Illustrative name. On this mock up it just says Rowena Sharp Illustration but on a final product it would say Big Ween Illustration. Information on how to get to my blog and facebook page would be on the back. I made the design go over the edges of the business card template. 



I traced over the business card design digitally because my original mock up got bent in my bag. But it's always an issue that I don't like the quality of my line work once it's scanned in. By tracing I've managed to get the same shape with clearer lines. Although at this point I can only do it on the cintiq where I have direct contact with the image whereas with a tablet I'm still a shaky tracer.


I changed some of the colours because I think that there were a few too many in the old one. Also I've changed my hair colour since then, this one fits really well with the colour scheme. But I think that that's a detail I could change each time I send them out so that it matches the current colour.
