Ellie on their process of work:
To reflect the novel that they were inspired by, these illustrations were produced using a variety of both digital and traditional methods. First, the sketch was completed on Procreate and printed on Strathmore watercolor paper. It was painted traditionally using watercolors and the underneath sketch was refined in graphite. Afterwards, the painting was scanned and edited digitally in Photoshop before finally being printed again on archival paper.
