Stylist x Baileys
I was commissioned to make six illustrations for Stylist x Baileys article and the title was 5 unexpected ways to bring more joy to your day.
Here are my sketches for the "Hero" image. I did start with a more realistic approach to my characters but we went with the more cartoon style.

These are the sketches for "Go for a morning walk with a friend". I really liked the split composition since it reminds me of a comic book.

Next up is sketches for "Host an al fresco dinner party". I love making still lives and making "dead" object come to life through composition and colors. It was a challenge drawing the glass material, but I think it came out really good :)

These sketches are for "Go for an impromptu date night". I wanted to focus on something you love to do just for yourself.

One more still life! This one is for "Do something kind for others". I mean, who wouldn't loke to have a raspberry drink?

For the last image "Take a nap" I wanted to make one sketch of meditation and one of taking a nap. I wanted the meditation image to feel really calm and centered and that was why I choose to make it minimalistic in its setting and composition.
