Animal Illustrations
CLIENTPersonal Project
PROJECT BRIEFIllustrate animals at rest.
I created a series of illustrations based on a couple of doodles I did on my pocket notebook after a productive visit to the south. The main idea is to create 3-5 animal prints for me to sell in my upcoming shop.
As our country was hit by the pandemic and one typhoon after another, it’s difficult to feel relatively positive or calm. Anxiety is part of our daily lives now as we go to our weekly grocery or drugstore runs. It is also present when we soak our online orders in alcohol and other disinfectants. We’ve lived in this bubble of worry for the past few months with no end in sight. I wanted to create this series to give a sense of calm and happiness to the people who see these prints. I want them to remember to rest, to play, and to feel happy – even for just a bit.
For the tiger, the main colors would be green and red, with varying tones to zone in on the subject itself. I wanted the tiger to look serene in its rest under the sun light streaming down, seeping through the leaves from the trees above.
For the axolotl, I just wanted to focus on fun… in a garden of blues & violets.
Lastly for the fox, I wanted a feel of a slight breeze rustling the leaves as the fox sleeps on a tree stump after a day of play.
This is probably one of the more recent works that I’ve gotten to really love and I can’t wait to have them as prints and stickers to be sold in my shop as well! Definitely going to do more of these.
