Preface:
About The Artist Poul Carlsen.

Poul Carlsen, founder of DrawShop.com, is a web illustrator, well known throughout the webmaster and clipart communities. Poul's story begins in 1958 in the country of Denmark where he was born. 

Poul first began illustrating in 1974 when he was just 16 years old, working for a non profit organization. Through the years he refined and honed his skills, and eventually started working for a Danish company, where he learned about marketing brochures, and other graphic layouts. When Poul was 25 years old he took his next big step, he began working for a large company called "Sis-International". He opened their department of graphics advertising, creating their folders, price lists, and brochures. All the while Poul was also working from his home, privately, selling drawings to companies and magazines. When Poul was 30 years old, he quit the job which he had created for himself at "Sis-International" to follow his dream of starting his own company "PC-illustration & Reklame". Poul was now able to work full time for himself, selling his work exclusively to companies, advertising bureaus, and editors in Denmark. In 1997, Poul would open up his now famous DrawShop.com to expose his work not just to companies, but to the world.

Among Poul's recent works you'll find a wide variety of clip art images (some located at our own site right here at FresherImage.com) as well as the entire mascot team of The Big Resources Network. Poul has documented his latest mascot creation, which was created for freewebtemplates.com. In this 7 page article, we'll take you through Poul's creative process, and some techniques that he uses in his "Disney quality" masterpieces.
