This one's another exercise in adding patterns to a scanned-in sketch. I'm really enjoying that right now. This sketch is a portrait of our Leopard Tortoise, Marvin. I thought the alligator skin pattern on his shell was a cool twist.
Care to join me in my "A Design A Day" challenge? Do your own doodle, post it on your blog or Flickr account, then leave a link to it in the comments below. It can be in any medium - photography, digital illustration, collage or traditional illustration that you simply scan in - anything you like. I'd love to see what creative things you're doing!
