Beauty Portrait: Sabrina


This was inspired by a photo presented to me by a client. This is actually the second illustration - the changes being that I changed the background from blue to grey and added sparkles or sparkle-like effects to it. The sparkle effect is meant to give a showering effect and was added to her head piece to a little bling. This illustration was created in Photoshop.

Beauty Portrait: Madame Butterfly

This is another favorite. I was inspired by another editorial and I thought it would be interesting to add other mediums to this illustration. The butterflies are vintage lithos that I distressed in Photoshop, but also to make it appear that they are actually incorporated in her hair. Her are made with layers of several shades of yellow and gold. I think she is incredible! This illustration was created in Photoshop.

Beauty Portrait: Eva


This is one of my most recent illustrations. I really had a lot of fun using the paint brushes in Photoshop and getting more acquainted with the Wacom tablet. I wanted this illustration to have minimual color, while using layers of black and grey to draw attention to her eyes and angular features. This illustration was created in Photoshop.

Beauty Portrait: Sway


I many favorites and this is one of them! I really like how the color is layered and the direction of the color gave the illustration movement, as if she is swaying. I really like color blocking and applied it to this illustration. This was sketched in Sketchbook Pro and color was applied in Photoshop.

Beauty Portrait: Red Hot


This was really fun to do - I was inspired by an editorial in a Russian Vogue issue. I wanted bold color with a painterly effect  - which most of my work is turning out to be. The sketch was done in Sketchbook Pro, and then adding color and effects in Photoshop.

Branding Project: Marche du Chocolate Hot Chocolate Mixes


This is a personal branding project and is an off shoot of a larger branding project, which is a chocolate truffle company. This is a branch of Marche du Chocolate (Chocolate Market) that consists of beverages and possibly cake mixes. What you are seeing are tins that would contain several different cocoa mixes in inside. The design replicates the logo used for chocolate truffle company and ties in with a signature color that belongs with the product, as well as the symbol of the ingredients of the product, such as peppermint stick, cinnamon & nutmeg, vanilla & lavender, and finally chipotle & cardamom. This is meant to help the buyer recoginize the color with the main ingredient. This was created in Illustrator.
