I am a Digital Illustrator and Cartoonist based in Chicago IL. I draw imaginative concepts, influenced from everyday life and experiences in a cartoonistic way that conveys a message, emotion or idea. Including patterns and caricature exploration.
As a Columbia College Chicago college student, I have experience in utilizing software’s like Adobe illustrator and photoshop due to designing flyers and posters for organizations like Black Student Union. From my experience in ASM programs, I’m excellent at being emotionally intelligent with team members, clients and coworkers. I’m very proficient and dedicated when it comes to completing objectives and can adapt well to sudden changes too.
When it comes to my work, I go for a simplistic, cutesy, cartoony style with incorporated shapes like circles for efficiency, easiness and fun overall. This can be said for my linework and color as well. For linework, I experiment a lot varying between simple and intricate by using different brushes or changing up my approach in the process. For color, I limit myself to a certain number like a palette for time and manageability. Cel shading is my go to for shadows and darker areas, as well as lighting and gradients.
