Above; a few concept sketches of a warrior ferret character. The design explores the long slender shape of the animal and a couple of expressions. The design is based on observations of my pet ferret 'Bandit', so called because of the contrasting mask shaped patch on his face. I believe the best way to characterise an animal, if it's possible, is to observe it and make sketches as well as mental notes about their behaviour and movements.

Feature Friday: Norse Kids
Where are you from and where do you currently practice your artwork?
Spain
Spain
Where do you currently practice your artwork?
In my home studio.
Are you self taught or have you completed any training?
I studied design but I consider myself self-taught, everything that helped me to be where I am I learned by myself.

How would you describe your artwork/process?
I like to mix digital and traditional media, I usually sketch with a pen and then do a cleanup and add colour on photoshop. For the textures I use photos I take myself and use custom brushes that imitate crayons to give my drawings a more organic feel, I love working digital but I also love how warm hand drawn art is.

What is your biggest influence/inspiration?
There’s too many to name, I love modern child books that are not afraid to try new things and styles and try to include some of these ideas into my work. I’m also very fond of minimalism and modern art, I like to think of my work as a minimalist approach to traditional kid’s books art.

Character Portrait Commission
Here's the final result of a recent character portrait commission. I illustrated this image digitally but kept the final image quite sketchy to give it a slight caricature feel as asked by the client.
Wether your looking for something fun and characterised or realistic imagery, I can work in a variety of styles as you can see on the blog. If you have an idea in mind for a unique Christmas present this year then don't hesitate to contact us!
