Dragon Ball Illustrations
Dragon Ball Illustrations
Overview:
My Dragon Ball illustration series is a tribute to the iconic anime that shaped my love for art and storytelling. Through these pieces, I explore the emotional depth, intense action, and nostalgic charm of the Dragon Ball universe, blending traditional character designs with my own unique visual style.
Challenge:
Creating these Dragon Ball illustrations was both exciting and creatively demanding. One of the biggest challenges was finding the balance between honoring the original style of Akira Toriyama and injecting my own artistic voice.
Execution:
I began each illustration with a hand drawn sketch in my sketchbook, then photographed and imported it into Adobe Illustrator. Using references from Akira Toriyama and series animators, I focused on capturing the style’s essence with color, line work, and character design. Adobe Illustrator helped me refine lines, build vectors, and add bold colors, blending traditional art with modern digital execution.
