Flicking through there are certain illustrators that jump straight out at me. Here are a select few;
Not my own personal style but there's just something about his work, these two sketches in particular that just draw me in. It could be as simple as the use of colour, or his use of layering texture upon texture, I find his work rather beautiful.
Cecilia Carlstedt;
Her work is more what I believe I can relate to. The use of contrasts, textures and watercolour within this particular sketch is to die for. Even with a minimum use of colour, the balance between watercolour and pencil tones is just right. Her personal website is under construction at the minute, however being nosey online, some of her sketches are similiar to the techniques and styles of Nadia Flower; an illustrator which I have referenced my own work to a couple of times. I think this may also be a reason why I'm drawn to Cecilia's work.
