Illustrative
Editorial-style drawing translated to skin — mixed line weights, hatching, and fill that evoke book-plate illustration, comics, or editorial art. Subject matter is wide; the defining quality is the hand-drawn feel and visible mark-making. Sits between traditional and realism in technical demands.
- Mixed line weights and hatching
- Hand-drawn, editorial feel
- Comics, book-plate, or print influences
- Wide subject range
- Visible mark-making as an aesthetic
