    Vector illustrator and designer...

    Cartoons, characters, graphic & logo design and so much more!

    Welcome to the Ant Creations blog and website

    Hello! As you've hopefully deduced from the title above, this site is dedicated to showcase my work on the world wide web and also explain a little about the kind of illustration and design that I create. My name is Nathan Shelton and I have been drawing and doodling cartoons as long as I can remember! I have a passion for creating funky artwork, cool characters, unique illustration and great design in general! I've been running Ant Creations the business since I started illustrating professionally in the year 2000, and am now based in Market Harborough, Leicester in the UK. Anyway enough with the reading, have a look around, check out my blog below and my work throughout the site, and if you need to get in touch I would love to hear from you. Kick back, relax and give your eyes a treat. Enjoy!

    My new style of illustration...(doggy)

    Howdy folks! I've been playing with a new style (for me) of illustrating. I normally favour a more detailed and solid style of illustration as you can see from the examples scattered around this site. I usually get a bit too excessive when working on an illustration or cartoon, and I spend ages fussing with the lines, the highlights and the shading. All that means creating a new design takes me an absolute age!

    So, I've decided to play with this new style of illustration in an attempt to speed up the creative process, whilst still keeping to my recognised way of creating characters. Here's my new way of illustrating. Still vectors of course, but far more loose...

    Let me know what you think. I will post some new images when I get a bit of time to create some more!
