Whilst these are definitely some old examples, it's a set of works that helped establish my art style and I feel as though that's a pretty good bit of progress to show off. Unit 4: FMP (2020) is by far the best piece of work created during that time.

Final Pages
The project I'm most proud of.
For this final unit I created a fictional narrative that focused on the mental health of the main character. I wanted it to be as easy to project onto as possible, hence the faceless and non-human character designs.

I drew all the backgrounds in black and blue biro, and drew in the characters on Photoshop to make them stand out. This project I really wanted to merge my traditional and digital illustration skills.
On top of the novel, I also created an animated mobile wallpaper by hand as a side project that could act as a piece of interactive promotional material.

Process
Here is my full design process for my novel, from initial sketches through to thumbnails and final character & page designs. What I love about this is that it's easy to see the correlation between my idea getting clearer from my head to the (digital) paper.
The "A Humument" Project (2019-2020)
A secondary task set to us during the Level 4 course, inspired by artist Tom Phillips own piece titled "A Humument".
Probably one of the most enjoyable pieces of art I've created. There was something exciting and unconventionally creative to me in piecing together short narratives from a pre-exisiting text and creating an illustration around it based on my own wordings.
Unit 2: Transform (2020)
The second unit of Level 4 gave us an opportunity to be as creative as we liked and I chose to attempt an animated narrative piece. This project showed me my time management skills at the time had A LOT to be desired and, of all the projects I've ever worked on, this is the one I am the most disappointed in.
One positive however, is my design process became more streamlined and, albeit slightly too late, my time management improved immensely.
Unit 1: Greenwich (2019)
The first of the three projects on the Level 4 Graphic Design & Illustration Course. Our brief set us to designing posters and postcards to advertise the London Borough of Greenwich. It was this year that I was heavily inspired by Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk and wanted to bring these elements into my design work.
Children's Book Project (2013)
My first ever foray into digital storytelling almost a decade ago, during a time where I was too careless to properly save files leaving me with just these photos of the finished project.
As unprofessional as these blurry photos are, without this project I don't think I'd have ever stepped into the world of design and illustration.
