Alexa loves... Illustration

To illustrate designs is not always as easy as it looks. So here's how I got from scribbles on a page to my official design illustrations. 

It all started when I found this beautiful illustration. 

And I attempted to re-create it myself before using it in my own way in my illustrations. 

I then started to work on facial features inspired by make up effects. 

But when my illustrations were finished what should I put them on? Inspired my Mustaf Soyden I wanted to use a realistic background to make my illustrations fun and quirky. 

So I took some pictures in the garden. 

And I ended up with the finished pieces....

To illustrate my images I used a mixture of medias including coloured pencils, watercolour pencils and fine liners as they all give a nice elegant, delicate look like a flower. 

And that's how I created my illustrations.
