computer-rendered image?

Why should I use a hand sketch instead of a computer-rendered image?
Quite often, purely computer-rendered images lack artistic quality. Compare the processed look of most sterile, computer-modeled images to the human, natural flavor of a hand sketch. You can immediately tell there's a difference, and so will everyone you show your sketches to.

What separates you from your competition?
Many companies use foreign outsourced renderings that may lack the ambiance you desire. I work quickly and efficiently, and create unique drawings with a natural, hand drawn look.

Your finished sketches will be bright and colorful. They will catch people's eye and stand out from the crowd.

What does 'solis' mean?
'Solis' [soul-iss] is Latin for 'sun', the source of all natural light. The tone or mood of an illustration is largely defined by how the artist portrays light and shadow. Dictionary.com defines 'illustration' as the act or process of 'illuminating'.

What is a digital hybrid sketch?
Essentially, it is a hand drawn sketch that is scanned and rendered on the computer in Photoshop. Color adjustments, filters and layer styles are employed as appropriate to the individual illustration.

With a hybrid sketch, you not only have the inherent benefits of an organic, hand drawn sketch, but you unlock the powerful creative potential and editing capabilities of the most current digital imaging software.

Is any graphics job too big or too small?
No, I am capable of handling projects of any size. I love to help bring even the simplest ideas to life, and will do it at a fair price agreed upon between you and me.

If you just need a quick concept sketch, some plan graphics studies, or even some drawings of your own rendered in color, I can help you out.

What are your rates?
Each job is unique. Therefore, each invoice is unique. I will work with clients who are concerned about the cost of renderings in this economic climate.
