Illustrating: from mind to marker
My oldest hobby turned into work
I have been drawing as long as I can remember. It started with drawing flowers in kindergarten, and after that it just never stopped. I eventually went from drawing on paper to drawing digitally, because I wanted to experience with it. Nowadays, I try to draw both on paper and on my iPad. Usually I will start on paper and then move to digital art. I like that with paper I can sketch easier than digitally and try out a few things, before going into it on Procreate or Adobe Illustrator. When I illustrate it is either for a project or a way to execute data in an easier way for colleagues. Here you can think of an infographic or a customer journey. I do also like to make illustrations in my free time, or to help friends with their projects.
Spider-man illustrations
I've always loved comic books, especially Spider-Man. When the Into the Spider-Verse films came out, I was completely sold. Their unique visual style and animation left a lasting impression on me and inspired me to create a series of my own drawings. I'm especially proud of my illustrations of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. They were among the first pieces where I felt I had really succeeded in creating a background that complemented the characters. I spent time experimenting with different techniques and doing studies on illustrating environments, and these drawings became the result of that process.
