Júlia Sardà's gorgeous illustrations

I first saw Sardà's illustrations whilst scrolling through my tumblr dash - her wonderful, lively style, and terrific sense of colour was the main thing that really attracted me to her work. You can really tell that she understands the use of lighting, the dark and light and colour in her work, something I really admire.

I also admire that traditional, analogue feel of her illustrations, despite her usage of digital mediums - and how she can combine the rendered and textural elements with the crisp flat edged planes of colour in the same image.

Signed copy of Brittney Lee's book!

Confetti is a collection of works by the talented Disney visual development artist Brittney Lee - it features her digital paintings and beautiful cut paper creations dating between 2007 - 2011. Brittney Lee has always been a huge inspiration to me - career wise and work wise - her work, the colours, the shapes, textures, lines she uses are always so fluid, vivid and playful - something I've always admired in her work









(As I've said before) Her style is simply captivating! The colours and curves she uses are so vivid and sharp and for her paper cut work, I like that the layering of card creates depth to her work. Not only does this show she has a great eye for detail and colour, it also proves that she has a lot of patience! (I have done a bit of paper quilling before and have decided that it is not as easy as it looks and it is very time consuming and sticky.)
