Painted look via Photoshop

by Drema Haywood

Book Illustrator

In my sample I used a technique using Photoshop to create a painted look. This effect turns out quite nice in a children's book layout. I can also hand draw images for a raw illustrated look, or do vectorized images in Illustrator.

I have an Associate's degree in Graphic Design and over 19 years experience illustrating and painting. I work with a lot of different media, but my favorites are Prisma Color, Acrylic paints, Graphite Pencil, Photoshop and Illustrator.

My strength is in color illustration.

My fee is currently $50.00 for 1 page, $150.00 2-10 pages, $250.00 10-20 pages, $350.00 20-40 pages, $450.00 40 or more pages (depending on size of book or author's budget).

I can provide 1 sample sketch free of charge, any more the cost would be $10 per sketch.

My style seems to be more geared towards children's illustration, but I am capable of illustrating outside of that catagory.

My current images can be found on my website, Dremedia.
