Sparkle Creation Rubber Stamps- Creation of Turntable Josh

Here goes my first post for all the Sparkle Creation fans. I have been asked by the lovely Sparkle Smith to be the illustrator for her new rubber stamp company.For the first series I came up with 8 lovely characters. I will be showing you how the character Josh was developed.
He went through three roughs before finalizing. Can you see how his face became cuter every step? I often learn my client's taste while going through the rough process. Sparkle loves cute and whimsical!

And here goes the finished illustration. You can purchase this rubber stamp from the Sparkle Creation site. The online shop will be launching on the 10th of July!
Sparkle has come up with a beautiful design using the Turntable Josh stamp.
And below is my coloured version. Since I don't have time or the resource to make cards, or have the confidence to come up with a good design after seeing Sparkle's design, I will be doing what I do best with the stamps!
I will be showing my version of the finished illustration! ENJOY!
