A busy day ahead of me today so I may not get to sketch, instead I thought I’d share this commission I recently completed for a client in Australia.

This illustrated montage of photos from a kindergarten was a gift for a member of staff who was retiring.

From a number of images of the kindergarten play areas I put together the composition and the drew the illustration from that combined image. Lifting out a single colour in the kids outfits helped to add a little colour and pull out certain parts of the montage, without overpowering the whole image. The hand prints are another nice detail to link to the children at the nursery.

If you would like to commission a similar illustration, or talk over an idea you may have for a drawing then please get in touch at contact@www.edinburghsketcher.com for more details.
