What's new with Red Tie Studios?
We drew different versions of Brittany, hoping to capture her personality through reference photos taken by Eddie Vasquez. These finalized drawings are going to be compiled into the final artwork for the portrait.

This illustrated portrait was a going-away gift for a coworker that was leaving to pursue opportunities in California, where she is from. She has a very fun, high energy personality that we wanted to show.
The rough sketch was done knowing that we wanted the portrait to fit into a typical size poster frame of 18″x24″. Concept wise, we wanted to show the Frost Tower in downtown Austin (where the company is located) somewhere in the illustration but finally decided that it was unnecessary since the final illustration needed to have a simplistic background to accommodate signatures and goodbye notes of everyone from the company.

We were contacted recently by Ph.D. candidate David Frescas from New York, who wanted to give the gift of illustrated portraiture to Michele Pagano, award winning scientist, and his research instructor.
We love working with people who know what they want just as much as the ones who leave us completely in charge of their portraits, and David had very specific elements that he wanted included in the portrait. David let us know that Mr. Pagano loves the work of Jack Kirby, famed comic book artist, so we used that as our main pool of inspiration as we started planning the portrait.
