Story time! I recently bought an ancient Avalon Hill board game from a secondhand store. Being an ancient Avalon Hill game, it came with approximately 86 Quajillion tiny bits of cardboard with numbers, letters and symbols on them that you use to "play" the "game". In truth it's less like a game and more like an eye exam, algebra and watching paint dry had a baby.

So, all these pieces were stored in 1980s GLAD sandwich bags with Disney characters on them. Seeing this brought back a memory of eating cheese sandwiches out of the exact same kind of bags when I was little! I really loved them back then and found the various school-related character designs fun and compelling. SO, I thought I would scan some of them into Photoshop and recreate them with the power of MODERN TECHNOLOGY!

This one was always my fav. I think this is actually Daisy Duck but the hair puts me in mind of Magica, and she's a lot more fun to draw. The other characters on this particular sandwich bag include Mickey holding a bunch of apples, Minnie illustrating that 2+2=4 (helpful!) Goofy illustrating that 2+2=22 (not helpful) and Donald dressed as a Viking. All things found...in school?

The first version is the original scan of the image on the bag. Next, is the vector version with flat colors and black outlines, third I added some color variation to the lines and finally I redrew her with more detail, color and SASS.
Anyhoo, I will probably draw some more of these in the future. Let me know if these things ping your nostalgia as well!
