Derwent Leopard

Packaging illustration created for Derwent’s Line and Wash Sketching Set. The commissioned leopard artwork was drawn using Derwent materials, without digital enhancement, and used on globally distributed retail packaging. Process studies and packaging photography show the drawing from early tests through to final use.
