Big Book Of Fashion Illustration

My work has been published in the Big Book of Fashion Illustration by Martin Dawber and Anova Books.

Over 250 Illustrators from all over the world appear in this
book, showing a great variety in style and technique. Many Artists use traditional skills including watercolours, pencil drawings, photography and collage. Others combine these skills with the latest technologies in digital media, with Adobe Photoshop, Painter IX and Macromedia Freehand.

Two of my Illustrations were selected and feature in the Sport & Leisure section. Other chapters include Womenswear, Menswear, Childrenswear, Youth Culture, Accessories, and Beauty & Glamour.

My work was discovered by Martin back in 2005 at my
U.W.E Degree show in London. I was delighted to have my work published alongside so many talented and already established Illustrators.

There are no tutorials, how-to's or before and after images in this book, just page after page of beautiful, innovative illustrations. I recommend this inspirational source book to students, designers, illustrators or anyone interested with a passion for Fashion, Art and Graphic Design.

Introducing Candyreef

Hello, and welcome to my very first blog. The main reason I am starting this blog is to show off my vector based Fashion and Lifestyle artwork. I create my Illustrations using Adobe Illustrator and add finishing touches in Adobe Photoshop. I have been using these programs now for five years and I am amazed that I still manage to learn something new each time!
If you like my work and would like to see more or get in contact with me please visit my Candyreef website via the link at the top of this blog.
