    uniE621 Foundations
    Here is another attempt at the above project to illustrate a section of song lyrics. Here I chose Kate Nash - Foundations, specifically the section referring to how bored the singer is when speaking to her partner.
    uniE621 9 to 5
    Here is a small project for a short illustration course. The goal of the project was to illustrate a section of lyrics from a song, and I chose Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. The centre of the image is the magical coffee described in the opening lyrics, part of a kitchen scene in the early morning. Above the fridge is a tiny portrait of Dolly.
    uniE621 Eat the Rich
    Here we see an image of Jeff Bezos with an apple in his mouth, a nod to roasting a pig.
    uniE621 Juno
    This was an early attempt using Procreate and still one of my favourites. I particularly enjoyed the linework in her hair, and the transparency of the plastic.
    uniE621 Opposites Attract
    Using Procreate I aimed to use symmetry to demonstrate how two figures can be so different but mirrors of one another.
    uniE621 Jardin Majorelle in Gouache (2)
    Using gouache I wanted to demonstrate the complexity and beauty of the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech from different angles.

    Using gouache I wanted to demonstrate the complexity and beauty of the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech from different angles.
    uniE621 Product Illustration
    Here I used bright colour to catch the viewers eye. Both illustrations are based on imagined products, and painted in gouache with a black outline.
