Illustrations by Ashley Mackenzie:
So this is my final project! A “Life of Pi” illustrated book - with a few different images I haven’t uploaded of Pi - (12 illustrations in all) including the ones I have uploaded individually. This will be displayed at my graduate show on the 18th of May! Along with all the original artwork, which will be up for sale. However hopefully I will open a shop in the summer (on tumblr) and sell some of the illustrations as prints!
Quick frog #sketch I did from the Georgia Aquarium. Pen and marker on toned paper.

For the curious! It always starts out with a pencil sketch. Everything was painted with gouache; I also used a little bit of colored pencil to make the ridges in the lips, and to outline and accentuate the teeth here and there…
I’ve been getting a lot of sun these past few weeks, so a bunch more freckles have popped up! (Plus, I really wanted to try and bring them out in black and white so this was a perfect opportunity.)
