Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
This was a project I set myself during early 2019. I was still fairly new to freelance illustration, work was slow and sporadic. Creating a picture book was something I always wanted to do. Feeling overwhelmed and lonely in London gave me the idea and push to make this story.

How was the illustration used:
The illustrations were printed into a book. I sold it in fairs and to independent art shops.

How did you make this work:
The drawings were all created digitally, but I wanted it to have a rougher quality opposed to the clean cut smoothness digital illustration produces. I used Photoshop brushes to mimic paint and pencil and printed it onto thick Tintoretto gesso paper.
