ExpressionISM

I was asked to participate in http://ismcommunity.org 's 10 year anniversary exhibition. Here's my entry based on the -ISM: expressionism.

Book cover, from sketch to final.

 

This is a book cover illustration for Jennifer Peersmann's new book. I started with some thumbnailsketches, resulting in the asic laout sketch above. I inked the sketch . Then I experimented with some color concepts, and finally used the basic idea of the color sketch in the final illustration.

Reader's Digest

This is an illustration I did for Reader's Digest. It is about the power of Google. The first sketch was rejected, since it was considered too grim. So I came up with the second sketch, which depicts google as dtectives instead of an evil puppeteer. The illustration was done in ink, and colored digitally.

More sketchbook drawings

This is the first time I am experimenting with brush and ink. Most of my illustrations are painted, so I never got to explore the possibilities of brush and ink. I love the medium and it gives me a lot of new ideas. The ink illustrations above are some exercises to get to know the medium.
