My Little Family.
A personal illustration project created to explore digital illustration techniques.
Inspired by my husband, our two dogs, and myself, I designed original characters and brought them together in a cosy morning cooking scene, using composition, colour, and lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
A Glimpse into the Process
I began blocking in the base colours, experimenting with different colour palettes and making adjustments to establish a harmonious and cosy atmosphere.
I gathered visual references to explore composition, colour palettes, and the overall atmosphere of the scene. I also collected inspiration for environmental details, props, and character design to help develop a warm and cosy kitchen setting.
I explored different poses, proportions, and character styles through sketches and visual references, developing original characters inspired by my husband and myself.
An initial black-and-white line sketch exploring the overall composition, character placement, and environmental details of the scene.
I continued refining the illustration, adding details and playful textures to bring the characters and environment to life, creating a warm and cosy final piece.
