Illustrations Done By Hand

Illustrations Done By Hand

Most of my illustration work is done on the computer now. Clients generally prefer it and it is easier for me to make revisions. The reproduction quality can be better as well since it doesn't have to be photographed or scanned. That having been said, a certain look and feel as well as a certain amount of soul is lost by using the computer all the time. Here are some examples of works I've done by hand over the years.

Oil Painting
This is an oil painting. Actually most of this painting is acrylic but I used some oils at the end so technically that makes it an oil painting. I tried to stick to just using a palette knife, but in the end I used brushes a lot.
