Notice here how Decue’s technique creates the illusion of paper being fabric-like, adding visual depth to the illustration. Decue edits her drawings on her computer with digital tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Starting off-screen, she plays with her hand-made textures, screen prints and collages.
