My work is a combination of traditional and digital art and I like to work with soft colour palettes.
About
My style is adaptable – depending on the brief given, my style can be adapted to the brief. I like to work with a mixture of traditional and digital media, as that gives me a lot of flexibility and possibilities. For traditional media, I love using watercolour and colour pencils, as I can create soft washes of colour and add texture and details with colour pencils. When creating digital illustrations, I like adding soft textures to my work. I like to create sketches in my sketchbook and use them to create line art for my digital illustrations.
In fourth year, I enjoyed illustrating food for my personal projects. I created these illustrations using watercolour and added finishing touches with digital media. I loved creating these illustrations and envision myself creating more food illustrations in the future.

Penguin Books - Cover Design Competition (Children's Category - City of Stolen Magic)
I was inspired by the maps of London and Dacca inside the book when creating the cover design. The buildings above the river are from London whilst the buildings from India are below the river to show how the British stole magic from India.
