Hello, I’m Eleanor! I’m a primarily digital illustrator, but I can also work traditionally with pencil, fine-liner, and sometimes watercolour.
My work is often based in my own interests and experiences, as for me art is a way to translate my overactive imagination into something physical and visible. I work more graphically than realistically, and like to experiment with colour, usually by trying to restrict my colour palettes. I work best with single images or very short animations, which lends itself best to editorial work and similar, as such that’s and area of illustration I might look to go into, however I can potentially see myself going into other areas of the illustration industry as I gain more knowledge and experience.
My projects are quite varied, and include two more personal projects, one based purely on creature design and slightly on world building and the other based on a memory. There are also my own takes/designs of a few brands as well as my own take on some editorial work.
