Camelia Pham
Breathing Out Tigers

Exploration

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
This was a personal project with images created 6 months apart. I drew “Stubby Pencil” when I felt stuck in my job and started losing the identity of my style, but with hope that one day I might get it back. I drew “Break Out” when I finally left the job and started freelancing; feeling literally free and holding onto the hope that this year of the Tiger will help liberate my creative self.

How was the illustration used:
“Stubby Pencil” was solely a cathartic piece at the time. “Break Out” came to life when a group of Vietnamese illustrators got together to draw the zodiac of that year to show on Behance.

How did you make this work:
Everything is done digitally. From the sketching to the final effect, by masking a lot of paper and halftone texture layers along with some filters on Photoshop.
