Lovely Patterns

Recently I gotten into the idea of creating patterns. There so much fun and easy to create. You can easily reuse parts of your illustrations to create beautiful unique patterns.

This pattern was created by reusing some sketches in my sketch book.

The Fisherman's Son

Hey everyone so I've been working on a Fairytale called the Fisherman Son which is a Brazilian based tale. The story is filled of short adventures the son goes through once he was traded by his dad to the river spirit. I focused on the ending where the boy escapes and end up at a kingdom and falls in love. Everyone loves a good love story.


The most important part of this assignment for me was the gathering of reference I made huge collages of all things brazil. I wanted to capture colors, culture and vibrance of Brazil.

The style I went for was folkart combine with paper cut. These pieces were very fun to work on and the color palette was a challenge but I loved it.
