Little Dreamer Apprentice Round 3 Freebie

Have you been following along in the Little Dreamer Designs Apprentice Program? In Round 1 I made a mini kit called Snap!, which you can download here. In Round 2 it was all about the elements, which you can download here. In Round 3, we had to draw doodles in Illustrator. This was WAY fun and I loved it!

Please leave a comment in the LDD gallery if you download. And don't forget to check out all the other amazing doodles in the Apprentice Round 3 gallery and leave comments for them!

For this round, I drew the doodles in Illustrator first.  The sun and the surfboard were colored in Illustrator and then copied into Photoshop for distressing.  The wave, palm tree, and beach ball were imported into Art Rage and hand-painted, then exported to Photoshop for distressing.  I have to say, I really love drawing!  It really brought back some childhood memories of drawing and doodling for me.  I used to draw all the time when I was younger.  The pressures of school and having to get a job made me forget about drawing, but this re-awakened that part of me again.  I'm thankful for that!  Oh and I just wanted to point out that these Beachy Keen Doodles also include B&W .png versions in clean and distressed versions, plus a set of .abr brushes for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements!

Today after work I went to my work gym for the interval training gym class. You know you haven't been to the gym in a while when the instructor emails you and says, "Where have you been? Come back to gym class!" Ha ha! So I went. It was interval training with 4 minutes of working really hard to get the heartrate up, and then three minutes of working not as hard. We did a five minute warm up, then 4/3/4/3/4/3/4/3, then hand weights and abs. I haven't sweated like that in a long while, even running 9 miles, LOL. It's good for me though, so I'll be back.
