Evens Illustrations

I am an Illustrator with a story to tell. My art is strongly influenced by my Haitian background, which involved many folktale stories told to me in my younger years. The mythological, nature-based creatures I illustrate are taken from myths that my family believed existed to be true. Although I was trained as an artist in the United States, Haitian themes are still prevalent in my art today. My dream is to share all these stories with everyone through my art.

After I graduated from college I started working on these creatures I called Hummidens (they had feathers around their necks). Here's a quick sketch of a few that popped into my head #inktober #illustration #artistsofinstagram #fantasyillustration #portrait

I have about 10 different poses that I make my models pose for me everytime, and this is one of the poses. My fiancee is the one who pointed this out and jokes about it everytime I have models pose for me. Do you guys have the same poses too?? 🤣🤣 #artistprobs #artistsofinstagram #sketchbook #tinysketchbook #fantasyillustration #pose #illustration

Sometimes you just sit down and sketch. I have no idea where this one is taking me, but I like where it's going #sketchbook #tinysketchbook #portrait #artistsofinstagram #unfinished

Sometimes it's good to work on multiple pieces all at once. For me, I learned this the hard way (that's why I'm spreading my wisdom), that way you don't get stuck working on one piece and eventually lose interest. The original sketch is on the left, drawing on the right ✏😉👌🏾 #illustration #artistsofinstagram #fantasy #portrait #sketch #drawing
