Hi! I'm interested in your contest. I'm an illustrator as well as a designer and I think I can give you what you need. I am curious - I could actually do this as a watercolor or a colored pencil drawing and scan it in and preserve the "painterly" quality. I could convert it to a .png in photoshop which would give you a "transparent" background for placing on packaging. Otherwise, if I put it into illustrator I would have to convert it to a vector image which would then loose some of the hand drawn or watercolor quality. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello, it would be nice to have a feedback from you. Thank you.
