Illustration

In my illustrations I enjoy drawing fast and prefer stylistic line work over realism. I attempt to create characters through the girls I draw; the face is often the most important element and also my favourite part to draw.

Using a variety of media in an illustration is fun and effective. I favour coloured pencil and gouache for more detailed design, but oil pastel and gel pastel work well within the illustrations. I have even made use of washi tape for the belt in the Dries Van Noten illustration above.

Though I am happy with the illustrations on this page, I do think I need to practise more to improve how I draw clothes and experiment with and develop my own drawing style.
