Illustration
- Each piece begins as a hand drawn pencil figure until he is happy with the composition, scale and detail.
- Then he creates a base using acrylic, watercolour or Pantone marker.
- He then uses pastels, watercolour paint, pencils and ink to work into the the drawing to create further depth and detail.
- If he then wishes to use online for social or animation he photographs and edits further in Adobe suites.
Animation
​
To create an animation short Tom works by painting every object individually and then photographing before editing in Adobe suites. This process
uses a collage technique that allows him to create complete worlds for his characters to interact within. Whether it’s a cab ride in NYC or a stay at one of Tom's resorts - transport yourself into one of his paintings and discover the latest collections from the runways.
