Kirk Wallace, also known as @BoneHaus, is a freelance illustrator, animator, art director, and much more who has created designs, animations, campaigns, and much more for clients such as Adobe, Apple, Disney/Pixar, McDonalds, Rocket League, Uber, and many more. He’s known for his bold, hyper-stylized, detailed, yet simple style.

Inspired by a recent trip to Amsterdam, he created a super cute, hyper-stylized illustration of a mini truck in his signature frenetic, colorful style. In this video, he walks in detail through his process — collecting inspiration and reference, sketching in Adobe Photoshop, his signature Adobe Illustrator illustration process, and then finalizing color and texture back in Photoshop. He does everything on his Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 pen display!
