Graphic Design / Illustratie

Outside of all of my ‘serious’ design work, in my free time I illustrate buildings. These illustrations are more often made for friends or family to gift to other people. Most of the time the buildings are people’s houses, or any famous landmarks near them.

When starting an illustration project, I ask for an image of the building. I use the image to create a colour palette that matches with the actual building. I use the image to see which details would be nice to include and are important for the illustration. Some examples include the brick detailing of a house, stained glass windows or ornaments on the front of the building. This way, even if the building itself is not very interesting or special, every illustration shows the story of the house or building.
