Editorial Illustration: TG Philippines, November 2014 Issue

I’ve been into textures lately. I think it makes vector illustrations more interesting. I’ve been trying to incorporate hand-drawn textures in my illustrations little by little. In this garden scene, I added a bit of texture to the background. Unfortunately, you won’t see it in the final printed illustration (damn!). You’d be able to see it though in the vector image below.

Editorial Work: Total Girl Philippines, October 2014 Issue + WIP

Last month was just a collection of past “Totally Embarrassing” stories, so in this month’s issue of Total Girl Philippines, my new illustration will get a taste of the magazine’s new layout.

I was able to incorporate some details on the illustration’s background. I just love how the contrast of colors turned out here, with the background color being bright, yet making the characters’ colors pop.

AND here’s the final illustration! I edited the colors since the original would look too dark when printed.
