I have been thinking of doing a cartoon version of one of my favorite characters, Agatha Christies’ Detective Hercule Poirot, always portrayed as a strong willed and serious man. Doing such an intellectual and grumpy looking character in a cartoon fashion sounded like a funny idea to me. So I got my pencil and drew and colored it entirely on Photoshop CS3.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial for Digital Arts Magazine. The idea was to play around with some light effects, colorful but very subtle with a little bit of 80's style in it.
The tutorial will be available pretty soon, however you can start using the wallpaper, I'm using it on my iPad and iPhone and it looks awesome.

The book suggestion of this week is really interesting especially for us designers that have to reach audiences with our work by trying to understand their needs. The book is called 50 Psychology Classics: Who We Are, How We Think, What We Do; Insight and Inspiration from 50 Key Books.
