By applying a cinematic eye to his designs, Luke Brookes lights his images to dramatic effect, using colour to draw the eye and pull focus onto the narrative elements of his work. Lighting is a tool Luke uses to define his aesthetic as much as his personable drawing style and his adept use of pared-down palettes. He skilfully uses shadows in his illustrations to add weight and atmosphere but sometimes also as key components of the visual narrative.

But three years ago I started planning, setting goals, writing to-do lists, doing self-evaluations… And I can’t begin to tell you what an amazing thing that has been for me, both personally and professionally.
