Daniel Danger

 i love daniel danger's spooky atmospheric illustrations of haunted houses and abandoned places, i think they really tell a story. the use of scratchy lines and dark colours add to a sense of mystery.

Daniel egnues's illustrations have a mix of neat details and fluid fast brushstrokes and splashes of paint, i really like this style it gives his illustrations an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. i like how his illustrations can seem rushed and messy but when you look closer and see the detail alot of thought must of gone into each piece.

Nuno DaCosta

Nuno DaCosta's fashion illustrations are very simple and elegant. the simplicity of her line work and contrast of black ink against paper makes these images strong and bold yet still seem soft and feminine, i love her style of drawing the elongation of necks and full lips makes them unique but still has the realness of life drawing.

 Jason Levesque runs his own blog for his artwork, he does regular updates of new illustrations, upcoming exhibitions, tutorials and things for sale, so there is always something new to check out and his illustrations are really amazing, i love his use of colour palletes and the simplicity of the line work with photoshop colouring.

Silke Werzinger's contemporary illustrations are fun and humorous, her loose line work works really well with the funny content of her imagery, she also does some fashion illustration with the same kind of strong line work with softer watercolours to create a flowing style in her illustrations.
