artist's comments:
This style is especially practical, it's a thorough mix of brush-and-ink on paper and brush-and-pixels on-screen. That makes it a snap for last-minute revisions, especially in editorial work where deadlines are super tight.

What makes this style special is the contrast between the smooth brushwork and the textured, organic feel of the colors, an improvement upon the flat colors preferred by some illustrators. This "hand-colored" look creates a warm, human atmosphere.
