watercolour
Working in watercolours brings a vibrant and nostalgic feel to my illustrations. Once finished, I scan and colour correct images to get them print-ready for the publisher.
Watercolour and mixed media
Adding a little pencil or pastel to the illustrations gives them interesting texture and definition.
acrylic paint
Working in acrylic on illustration board means quick-drying colourful artwork that lends itself easily to be scanned.
pencil and digital colour
This is the quickest of my illustration methods, where I illustrate with a graphite pencil on paper, then scan and colour digitally. It combines the natural feel of hand-drawn illustrations with a soft tint of colour using Photoshop, producing illustration files that are print-ready and easily adjustable.
