Family Christmas illustration 2024
This is my personal project that I create every year. I enjoy documenting my family's life year by year.
The process starts with selecting family photos, brainstorming ideas, and creating a digital collage for composition (I never copy photos!). Then, I make digital line and color sketches before bringing the final artwork to life on paper using traditional media, mainly watercolor and pencil.
