Fernando Vicente is such a talented, versatile illustrator that it would probably take ten posts on The Lounge to cover his abilities. But to summarise, he specialises in fashion illustration, children’s illustration, pin-ups, technical illustrations, maps and caricatures. Some of his finest work depicts pin-up girls with segments of their inner anatomy displayed. Visit his website, or alternatively his Behance page to see more.

I am absolutely loving the style of illustrator Daniel Krall. Punchy colours, loose line work and packed with textures. I further became besotted when I found out much of the work is done traditionally, it is a mix watercolour, gouache, acrylic and pixels. For a little more background for Krall, Here is a nice quote from his website:

Daniel Krall emerged from a small farm in Fontana, Pennsylvania, where his artistic roots were watered by comic books, animation, and big-sky colorways. After learning every line of country life, he moved to the city and earned a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, where he now teaches illustration.

Todd Harris has created a lot of artwork for the gaming industry and is the talented illustrator behind the hilarious ‘Heroes Guide to…’ books. You have to admire his super-rich colours, fun-filled fantasy characters and his great compositions. His backgrounds are almost dream-like. Find more stuff of dreams on his blog.

Monica Garwood recently graduated from California College of the Arts, and now lives in San Francisco. Her stand-out pieces for me are her veiled woman illustration titled ‘Peep’ and I rather like her children’s book illustrations for ‘Clara and the Magic Brush’. See more excellent work on her website.
