Watercolours are a beautiful medium and create such stunning, delicate art. Here I’ll work on a geisha character, while also giving her my own personal touch. I imagined a strong, self-confident woman wielding a katana, and I enjoy merging the traditional geisha figure with all the samurai symbolism to create a brand new combination.
I usually work traditionally, with watercolour my speciality. I usually combine it with other traditional techniques such as ink, the best coloured pencils, the best markers, and so on. The fusion of these techniques in a single illustration provides the tones and textures I find attractive for telling the stories I want in an image. I also use digital retouching tools in my work as a cover illustrator. They offer a final step that’s essential for the narrative of each illustration.
