Mark is an illustrator who I have been made aware of in the past, however more recently I have been taking a real interest in his work. Mark's visual language is quite simple, he uses a lot of shape and texture and conveys messages in very obvious ways, such as the bubble in the above image.
He has a great way of conveying mood in simple ways, through his colour choice of very subtle markings on figures or objects.
Mark's process starts with initial ideas, then a working rough is created by hand which is then scanned in to photoshop, transferred and traced using the brush tool and then textures are added in after. He seems to have the process streamlined if his instagram is anything to go by.
Cecile Gariepy
Cecile's work is really fun and full of humour. Again, she is heavily influenced by shape, but unlike Mark, she uses very little texture within her work. Most of he work features characters, which make it easy to convey an image, especially within her editorial illustrations which usually involve some sort of human element.
Cecile's process is mainly digital, I imagine she does rough by hand but most of her illustrations are started from scratch digitally.
