Digital illustration - collage
As a pencil artist, I draw with pencil and charcoal on paper and canvas. Black, white, grey but for my digital illustrations I can go wild with colour
A drawn silhouette on paper wearing a (pot)hat is my inspiration. The silhouette is usually in black but this time in white. The (pot) hat is always in colour. It is the artist's favourite hat.
Around the silhouette I illustrate coloured elements such as the turquoise hat and butterflies, and in the background branches with red flowers.
This illustration is a mixed media, a collage. The silhouette and butterflies were drawn on paper and digitally converted. On the computer, they were merged with the background, branches with red flowers. The branches with flowers is a photo from my photo collection. The hat and butterflies were digitally coloured and the silhouette and hat were made slightly transparent.
Combining photography with drawn elements gives an illustration a distinct and special look.
