ILLUSTRATION: Dolce and Gabbana

'Did you draw this?'

Lately, I keep getting quite a few of this particular question. Frankly, it is one of my favourite questions and a compliment within itself. Every time I get asked this question, I find it very very hard to maneuver my head through a doorway. 

So, here is one of my latest illustrations. Obviously, I just cannot seem to get D&G off my mind. So this was a past illustration of mine, I decided to revamp it as, honestly, I just did not have the time or energy to start from scratch. The majority of my illustrations evolve from a sketch in pencil - or mechanical pencil because I am just that uncultured. I use a mixture of pencils - my favourite being 4B and B and my blending tool of choice is a (clean!) cotton bud.

After I have my finished sketch, I ideally would scan my image onto the digital world. However, as I am a newbie and lack the funds, I opt for a photo on either a Pixel phone or a Samsung Galaxy S8. Once the image has transported itself magically to my PC, I can freely use Adobe's fantastic software to edit, add colour, textiles and the finishing sparkles. Swipe in some rouge, add a touch of hairspray, maybe a label and Voila!
