Cute, Why Use it?

Human beings have a strong of “cute”. Comprehension of this seemingly abstract idea of cute is hardwired into our minds. Primarily cuteness implies youth.

A round head with low set eyes, blunt and chubby limbs, roundness…most artists can employ these attributes instinctively to attain a amount of cuteness within a character.

People are extremely attracted to cuteness because we are the ultimate nurturers of all breathing creatures. Our instinct does not conclusion with our own youngsters, but our sense of cute extends even with the animal world. Without a doubt, human beings are the most qualified “care givers” on this globe.

Ultimately, a cute creature could be a lot more likely to be cared for by its guardian, ensuring its survival. Cute has an extremely practical place in nature.

Cute Illustrations

As it is possible to see in my web site, in my own illustrations I’ve sought to achieve a good harmony involving cute and professional. This can be a rather tricky thing to do at times. Too cute just can’t be taken seriously. Too professional is boring. If I had my way, I’d probably be making more story-book genre cuteness, but due to the nature of my field (Stock Illustration) I am forced to calculate my approach more cautiously.

I have several main series that employ the “cute factor”, as you can see on my website.

Orange Man

The Orange Man was my initial to try and do this, and I can't seem to top this one. It is basically an inflated stick figure redrawn into a variety of various situations. He is popular and effective as a result of his complimentary characteristics of abstractness and simplicity.

AO-Maru Robot

Created for Techies, he's fairly clumsy and bulbous, bearing slight amenities of a toddler. Even now, he bears a unique sophistication together with his blue stripes and technologically highly developed look which is actually a harmony of modern day and 60′s style engineering.

Human Factor (Krinkle’s People).

These were produced for my wife. She is the ultimate fan of “cute characters” and I developed these for her primarily. Understanding 3 languages and loving culture, she assigns me the majority of assignments in composing these characters. She writes the descriptions on their product pages, She is bringing our illustrations to french and spanish speaking audiences. They can be found on my website.

These are my favorites, but not very well known. They've the blunt features of the orange guy, but more extreme. They possess the same eyes as AO-Maru. I tend not to expect they are going to grow to be extremely popular until a while longer. Because of the results of globalization and much more individuals having access to professional products such as stock illustration, I expect this series which specializes in racial diversity has yet to see its day in fame. I continue to invest time in the increasing of this illustration series.
