Derwent Chromaqua Hero
Create a ‘hero’ artwork for Derwent’s brand new Chromaqua Pencil range, sister to the popular Chromaflow. This image will be used across the campaign, in assets such as adverts and social media channels. The subject should be eye catching and striking, and use the 6 key campaign colours - Hollywood Pink, Orange Crush, Amethyst, Caribbean Green, Pineapple and Blue Yonder.Brief
For this piece, I created a portrait of a woman, but with an unexpected twist - she has water lilies growing out of her ears. As the pencils are professional grade watercolour pencils, I wanted to keep water as a theme throughout the illustration. I was greatly inspired by the botanical ponds at Kew Gardens, which feature a very similar colour palette.Resolution
