Product Description
Product Description
I ve never been very good at drawing. But for an illustrator, that s not necessarily a shortcoming, provided you come up with good ideas, are sensitive and have common sense. A healthy dose of curiosity can also help you overcome any weak points. The idea is to start with icons, symbols or the images that you see every day in the street or on your computer. You can combine them so they take on a new meaning. You can redraw them, improve them or destroy them, capture them and process them in one way or another. The simplicity of the shapes and the use of color are not necessarily a limitation, but just another factor to be added to the conceptual capacity of this kind of images.
