Illustration Series: College Life

Recently I was contacted by a company to produce a handful of scenes of life for a group of college students. I had a limited amount of time on the project, so the illustrations were kept kind of loose.

This project gave me a lot of opportunity to have some fun with color, utilizing a bright, energetic pallet and conveying, in some, the overall mood of the scene (this is really evident in the happy/sad illustrations that mirrors each other). Thought it went fast, it was super fun to illustrate. Bonus that the client was very nice and easy to work with. We always love that!
