Finding the confidence to explore your own creativity.

Starting a new artwork can be daunting. For Pie, the secret to creating lively illustrations and artworks is to not worry about other people’s work or expectations and to instead just focus on your own unique style. Watch as Pie shares how she fearlessly approaches her new projects.

Creating fun and fantastic worlds through art.

Pie starts her designs by putting pen to paper. Watch as she starts with a sketch to map the layout and placement of her subjects. Then it’s all about making the sketch digital and adding colour in Illustrator. See how she uses the Pencil tool for creating shapes and the Smooth tool to clean up her art. Watch as she takes her artwork further in Photoshop, using the Brush and Gradient tools to add depth and dimension.
