Will Freeborn is a painter and illustrator based in Scotland. When he first started off sketching, they were much rawer and true to the occasion. He'd just draw and add a bit of colour then post them later that day. As time has gone on, he has changed his approach to do a rough sketch on site making notes than working up a drawing later at home from this and photo references. Processes have changed from even adding quick watercolour washes that used to take a few seconds to taking the time to try and render form and light.
He has a very basic kit of just a few pencils and pens (Faber Castell Artists pens). With watercolours he like a simple palette.
Influences: illustrators such as Eleanor Davis’s bright watercolours and goache, Paul Rogers‘ clean lines, Martin Etienne’s drawings of Paris, Arthur Rackham and Carl Larson. Also painters such as Alex Kanevsky’s figure paintings, Euan Uglow, Valerius de Saedeleer’s Dutch landscapes and James Paterson’s Thornhill paintings.
