ArtCreativa::Illustration and graphic design portfolio for Cristina Tulumb

Illustration & Traditional Art

Ok, Its been years since i have been doing my best to stick with the well known Charles Mingus saying "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple,that's creativity".
That goes with graphics but the truth is, I love complex compositions in general. Modern dadaism in art is not my thing really, though I see its point and I kind of get its vibe.
I love this hand sketching combined with digital manipulation and this will remain my passion for years to come. See some of my works here, there is much more to it but haven't had the place and time to add them all to this little online portfolio.You’re very welcome to leave your feedback in the Guestbook page, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Various selections from my portfolio are also to be found on Deviantart or Coroflot and several other artist directories.

Graphics, Prints & Logos
You can view a few samples of my graphic design work here.
I have mostly focused on logos and corporate identity type of projects in general as this was something that my clients wanted at that very moment the most. What you see here will only be a small excerpt of my work. Room to grow is essential for me so if you would like to send me any of your comments, request a project or ask questions, you can always Contact me.
If there is something i totally enjoy is creating print and logo artwork. I love Adobe illustrator and all the tools it comes up with, you can do whatever you want with it, its amazing! Ill add more in time, just give me time, time, time!

Fashion

My main focus in fashion design was always set on creating freehand and digital illustration. Putting together detailed production sheets and compiling color and trends boards was also part of the tasks I had to perform for some clients.
Pattern cutting, trend analysis, fabric and trim sourcing are not foreign to me either. I have a preference for lingerie and casual clothing concepts rather than for hot couture and futuristic designs- though i wouldn't mind having given the change to learn more in this direction. Until then, im remaining a lace, silk,velvet and denim greatest fan.
Here are some nice books that any fashion aspirer should have, i found them very helpful:
Fashion Sketchbook by Bina Abling
Heads: A Guide to Drawing Fashion by Nancy Riegelman

Retouching

Note that the few samples added here have been reduced in size considerably and have lost depth and pixels original quality. Drop me a line and i will send you the full size photos- before and after being digitally manipulated. More to be added soon
