There’s a special place in my heart for independent high street shops. So I was delighted to be commissioned by one of my favourite; a book shop called Ebb & Flo in Chorley.
The owner Dianne, wanted a pencil drawing of the new shop front so she could use it for social media and create bookmarks. She gave me her inspiration, and away I went to create some examples.
I got a bit carried away and created a super detailed sketch of the shop front. Then I remembered the inspiration picture Dianne sent over…. oops.
So I created three versions of the same sketch each slightly different to see which style Dianne preferred. The original detailed sketch won the race. Then I suggested, perhaps some colour?
So here it is, a colour illustration of the Ebb & Flo Book Shop.
Soon to be on bookmarks.
