My Illustration Style

My wildlife illustrations are digitally drawn directly onto my iPad using an Apple Pencil, all the same creativity but more freedom to draw whenever and wherever I like. My style sits between realism and colourful character illustrations, where I love to use lots of colour while still capturing the details of each species. Although my work is digital, people often say it looks like pastel. I previously painted with acrylic, and that influence still shows through in the textured, slightly scratchy effect that runs through my illustrations.

Ferne The Creative

I’m Ferne, a wildlife illustrator inspired by the natural world and a passion for design. My illustration work is a combination of realism and a colourful character style. I have been in the illustration business for nearly six years, but before that I spent six years working as a designer in the print industry, which really comes in handy when designing my products and packaging, alongside my experience working on commissions for clients.

In a previous life, I studied as a wildlife photographer, which I now do for fun while exploring the UK and my local area near Chepstow, Wales, in my free time.
