Sophia Martineck
German illustrator Sophia Martineck’s own description of herself as ‘The Sophisticated Pencil Girl’ is actually rather fitting. Colored pencils were always one those materials the professors always tried to steer us illustrators away from, but Martineck has me rethinking all of that. I really enjoy her flat use of the pencils and the subtle texture they impart.

Wow I love these illustrations! I recently rediscovered coloured pencils too and have become a little obsesed with using them whenever I can. Try using prisma coloured pencils they are the best ones I’ve ever come across. They’re waxy smooth and really luscious colours.
