VILMA HICKS - Illustration & Design

Portfolio:

Here you will find examples of recent work.

I use a variety of mediums - Charcoal, Colored Pencils, Pastels and Digital Media. I tend to enjoy playing with color and creating unique and dynamic color combinations.

Subjects are often light and playful, with some being much more mysterious. I am interested in how colors and subject matter interact and produce an emotional response.

Illustrations:

Painting of a tea cup surrounded by piles of books Painting of a man on a hill facing mountains.
Charcoal drawing of a medieval house Character Card for a board game, showing a quiver.

A little bit about my illustrations:

For all of my illustrations I use a combination of techniques.

I typically sketch out many ideas and start fleshing out the composition. For most of my work, they are a blend of hand work using such mediums as charcoal or color pencil and then I take that work into another program such as Photshop or Corel Painter.
