   Great roundup Niki.

   I remember reading the designer sketchbook post when it was first put out and seeing it here reminded me how much I love that sort of stuff.

   Step by step in Photoshop is nice but I love seeing the creative process before it! Good work!

   Also, I’ve noticed you added snowflakes to the site today. It took me a moment to realize my monitor wasn’t being difficult.
