Realistic Illustrative Logo and Mascot

Another large part of my clients, since I started my freelancer illustrator career, is people who want illustrative logo design and mascot images. I know that realistic logos are not that popular as symbolic and abstract ones (although I can design such logos too) but this sort of logos is still in demand. As to mascots they are always in demand and especially for web applications. I want to show you a few realistic illustrative logos and mascots created by me.

Drawing Cross Hatching

If you look at my earlier posts you will certainly notice that my favorite drawing technique is cross-hatching. I have recently understood that I had been constantly emphasizing my ability to draw using the cross-hatching technique but almost all my examples of cross hatching drawings were portraits. However my hatching art is not limited to portraits only, and today I would like to show you a few non-portrait cross-hatching drawings and illustrations. I think many of these works shows pretty well how to draw cross-hatching in order to create the volume of an image and unusual, cool look. I tried my best to make my cross-hatching style somewhat close to the hatching and cross-hatching drawing style of such famous artists as Albrecht Dürer (https://www.artsy.net/artist/albrecht-durer), Gustave Doré, John Tenniel, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci who are well-known masters of the hatching drawing technique and whose art inspires me a lot. That is why some of my cross-hatch drawings look like old-fashion engraving illustrations.

The book I recommend for learning how to draw with pen and ink

A lot of people ask me what kind of pen I use for drawing cross hatching. Well, I prefer using Uni Pin Fine Line pens 0.1 - 0.5 mm for this drawing style.
