Illustration & Visual Development
Hello! My name is Cole. I'm a freelance artist specializing in character illustration and environments. I work digitally as well as with ink, watercolor, gouache, and acrylic paint. I love experimenting with new media and new artistic styles. My work ranges from whimsical cartoonish sketches to elaborate paintings. When I'm not drawing people, I love to do ink and watercolor studies of birds, flowers, and cool-looking houses.If you're interested in commissioning me, please visit my Pricing and Terms of Service pages for more information about the process. For any inquiries, you can get in touch with me at [email protected].
