Who are you:
My name is Nancy Straughan, I study printed textiles at Leeds College of Art but I also practice fashion illustration.
What do you do:
What do you do:
I am in my final year studying printed textiles but I really enjoy drawing too. I like to draw in quite a traditional photorealistic style using pencils, but I also digitally add subtle details, colour, and texture. I focus on portraits but have recently been commissioned to create some fashion illustrations.
At the moment I am focusing on creating a range of printed textile designs for fashion and interiors, as well as creating some illustrations for a range of clients.

How did you start:
I have always been very creative, and have enjoyed drawing for years. Its only recently though that I have become confident in my illustration skills and I have really enjoyed creating lots of illustration work this past year. After creating a lot of various work using Adobe Illustrator I decided that I would like to utilize my illustration skills to create more handmade looking work, which I have really enjoyed.
A Personal statement about you or your work:
I am inspired by many other wonderful illustrators and hope that my work will also be enjoyed by others and inspire other illustrators. An illustration of a portrait can capture something beautiful and interesting, which is why I enjoy drawing people so much. Right now I would like to continue and improve my skills, be that in illustration or print design. I enjoy designing and making but I think illustration is a wonderful way for me to create something from start to finish with a sense of accomplishment.
