Liberty London Flagship Store Illustration

I created this illustration as part of an open project by the fabulous Liberty London. As one of the capital’s favourite luxury department stores, it’s best known for its sumptuous homeware and stylish products and fabric line.

My reference imagery for the piece was provided by my good friend Amy, who lives in London. I drew the artwork by hand using a large digital display tablet, drawing directly onto the screen using a pressure-sensitive pen.

I was especially struck by the wonderful asymmetry of the building. Small differences between the right and left side of the store kept me utterly enthralled in the process of creating the piece.

The more astute of you may spot that the diamond pattern in the background was inspired by the detailing visible on the building itself. I chose the background colour to reflect Liberty's iconic brand purple.
