Eva is PURE Creative’s in-house illustration guru – and she’s part of the PURE Products design team.

We chat to her to find out how she got into the art of illustration.

Q. How did you get into illustrating?
A. I’ve always been artistic, ever since I was a child. I went on to study Fine Art and Design. It was only later that I pushed my design style in the direction of illustration.

Q. Who is your illustration hero?
A. I have so many, but my top ones are Pearly Yon, Daniel Ting Chong, James Jean, Mc bess and Kobie Koba Nieuwoudt. The list goes on.

Q. If you’re not lending your brain to PURE, what is your favourite subject matter?
A. I really love nature and I like to illustrate animals and plants.

Q. What advice would you give to an aspiring illustrator? How can he/she improve their skills?
A. Always look for inspiration from other illustrators and take illustration tutorials, it’s the best way to learn. Get to know as many mediums as you can.
