Rowena Aitken’s Summary
As of 1st June 2009 I have been setting myself up as a freelance illustrator. My primary goals are to focus on children's illustration and 2D game art with a mission to develop as a games artist. I will also be supplimenting myself with graphic design and producing small original drawings, sketches and paintings using traditional media.
I have a love for drawing and painting animals and learning about the wonders of the natural world from biology to geology. My dream is to combine my two passions as a creature concept artist.
More artwork will be made available at www.rowenaaitken.com in the not too distant future, so keep your nose peeled!
Rowena Aitken’s Specialties:
Software: Toon Boom; Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign & Image Ready, Flash & Microsoft Office.
Excels in digital painting using Adobe Photoshop with an excellent knowledge of producing animation and film.
Biology, geology traditional and digital painting are my main pleasures and I hope to combine them into a successful business.
