Illustrator
Sketch to final illustration process
For these illustrations the goal was to create a more life-like character of the stamper toy, but still maintain a 3D toy look. For cleaner more precise lines I used Adobe Illustrator for outlines and converted them to a path in Photoshop for masking. then filled color layers, shading layers, highlight layers, and floor shadow layer
