WHAT THEY DID

Kerry sketched frogs on paper, digitized them, built large shapes on layers in Procreate, then moved to Illustrator to remove outlines or add lines in the background color so the shapes look cut, like a linocut.

HOW IT WENT

No results are reported beyond the finished illustration.

WORTH KNOWING
