Profile

Jenny Proudfoot is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. She loves to dabble in ink, pencil and splashy watercolour. With swirly bits. Jenny trained in Illustration & Media Design and worked for over a decade as a graphic designer specialising in magazines and heritage projects. In 2013 she returned to her first love, illustration. Her compositions are packed with detail, enhanced with scrolls and swirling embellishments. She works mainly in ink, and splashed watercolour applied to textured stock. These are scanned and layered together in Photoshop, where the colour is blocked out and adjusted to highlight key elements and match corporate palates. When Jenny's not scribbling she loves to cook. And one day she will squeeze affection from Alfie, her perpetually worried ginger cat.
