  • Why did you create this work?
    To expand my portfolio and perhaps spark ideas for a future picture book, I joined the Once Upon a Winter 2024 challenge hosted by Orange Beak Studio. My illustrations, inspired by the given prompts (the magician, feather, glimmer, pine, ember, and flight), form a mini narrative about friendship, compassion, and resilience in challenging conditions.
  • How were your illustrations used?
    Self promotion: social media, portfolio.
  • What materials and techniques did you use?
    I created these illustrations using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop, integrating scanned textures that I crafted freehand.
  • Was this project commissioned?
    Un-commissioned
