These are illustrations I created to accompany blog posts.

I created the first four illustrations on commission for three different posts of a client’s blog. For each illustration, I started with several visual reference photos provided by the client, as well as some additional images I sourced myself, to guide the tone and composition of the piece. Then I drew a pencil sketch and used this as the basis of the digital illustration I created in Affinity Designer (a vector graphics software program similar to Adobe Illustrator).

I created the remaining illustrations to accompany several posts comprising a series called The Gifts of Slowing Down, featured in my own Snail Steps blog. For these illustrations, I used Procreate, an iPad app that is especially well suited to making art with a more hand-drawn or painterly style.
