Crayon Portrait Illustration

Creativity often thrives when we embrace unconventional tools. One of my favorite examples is using crayons to solve visual problems in unique and colorful ways. While crayons are often seen as simple tools for kids, they can be incredibly powerful for adults looking to break free from the constraints of traditional mediums. Their vibrant colors and the tactile process of layering and blending can lead to unexpected and visually striking results.

Whether you're designing a new logo, conceptualizing a brand's aesthetic, or just looking to explore a different approach to illustration, don't underestimate the power of simplicity. Sometimes, the most creative solutions come from embracing the tools we once thought were just for play. I created this portrait illustration using just a few Crayola crayons!

It would be the perfect aesthetic for a funky, fun cosmetics brand. How do you incorporate unconventional tools into your creative process?
