    paper Tiger mother

    Finished in July 2025, this is one of my favourite digital illustrations. I wanted to play with how light shines through a scene. I also focused on strong shapes, which you can see especially from the mother tiger, I loved working on this piece it was a fun way to explore lighting, shadows, and composition in a more focused way.

    It was made for a children’s book I’m working on in my personal time, as a way to establish colours and develop a visual style for the project.
