Effusis Natura is my own ‘Latin’name for my flowing nature series of artworks. The series is based on fantasy botanical illustrations with a vintage feel to it. The fist two (Effusis Natura 1 & 2) were done in colored pencil (Faber Castell Polychromos) and then rendered in Photoshop to give it a vintage poster art feeling. These two have a more plant-like and mushroom focus.

Effusis Natura 3, with its focus mainly on mushrooms, was done totally digitally in Adobe Photoshop with ‘n dark background – almost ideal for a book cover. The drawing style is also more loose and graphical than the first two illustrations.

Effusis 4 & 5 have a fish theme, also fantasy with a vintage poster look. These were drawn by hand and then inked, using Unipin fineliners. After inking, it was coloured and rendered digitally in Photoshop.

Effusis 6 was done in the same way as the fishes, but the focus on strange seeds and seedpods. Effusis 7 is still in the making and will be posted after completion.
