Commissioned Illustration

A long lost friend got in touch with me on FB a few weeks ago. She had seen my illustrations somewhere and was wondering if I could make her a blog header. The blog is about her tryst with baking and I was quite excited to work on this, after all it involved my favorite city - Paris.

I got started right away, doodling and sketching out different options for the illustration. She liked one direction and we spoke about details to include etc. It turned out really well :)

These were the first few rough sketches:





We decided to go with option 2 and then I reworked the illustration once more.


Once she gave me the go ahead on this, I digitized it and here is what the final illustration looks like.


You can have a look at the illustration on her blog - My Tryst with Baking

This was one of the most fun assignments I've done in a long time. I look forward to doing more :)
