Andrew Ainanenane

Bit of a short and sweet one for now.

Andrew Ainanenane is a illustrator, who currently resides in Samara, Russia. A majority of his work seems to consist of inks and water colours, along with the occasional digital treatment, in the form of filling large areas with colour, 'flats', if you will.

As seen here, Ainanenane is very competent in using ink pens such as fineliners, especially the variable shading in the typography, which is also a specialty of his.

Ainanenane isn't what you would call a 'famous' illustrator, but there is really no reason he shouldn't be; it is obvious in his work that he has put some serious consideration into his methods, and how the final result will turn out, whether it suits a minimal graphic look, or more daring, artistic flare like in his watercolour work. Definitely an illustrator I could learn a bit from.
