Illustration Portfolio
This collection showcases my illustration work across different mediums and styles — from traditional book illustrations to experimental digital pieces. My focus lies in blending precise ink drawing with modern layouts, while also exploring expressive techniques through color and texture.
While my specialty lies in creating animal illustrations, I also work with fantasy worlds, surrealism, and digital art, thus ensuring a wide range of topics coverable.
Animal Illustrations
Although my range is broad, I specialize in traditional ink illustration, specifically that of animals. This section highlights my work with animal illustration across several self-initiated or commissioned projects.
This self-initiated project explores how my animal illustrations can be adapted to contemporary layouts. The Encyclopedia explores the idea of merging modern layouts and color schemes with traditional ink illustrations, thus creating a product that is unique and eye-catching.
Inspired by ink drawings from the 18th and 19th century, this is a series that explores how intricate ink details can be combined with wildlife scenery and combined with materials such as charcoal. The images come both in black-and-white, as well as digitally colored.
These is a set of two illustrations developed for a logo requested by a client who was looking for vintage "Sherlockian" drawings of a fox and a cat. This portfolio project also includes several non-chosen sketches, as well as digitally colored variants.
Used in their black-and-white form as detailed ink drawings for an encyclopedia project, these animal illustrations were later reimagined with digital color and applied over magazine layouts, as well as stationary as to show their versatility.
Illustrations for Fiction Books
These projects explore the use of ink and charcoal in narrative illustration. The focus lies on capturing atmosphere, symbolism, and detail while adapting to the demands of book and layout design.
Illustrations for Bulgakov's classic "The Master and Margarita". All illustrations were created using ink and charcoal.
Surrealism & Fantasy
This subsection brings together the other side of my work: that of surrealist and fantasy qualities. The surreal ink drawings focus on atmosphere and detail, creating dreamlike worlds without the need for color. In contrast, the digital pieces embrace bold palettes, repetition, and texture, offering a vibrant, contemporary counterpoint.
