I am a professional illustrator whose career spans over 25 years. Originally, I started drawing using traditional mediums. About 30 years ago I switched to doing my final painting digitally, although I still do my sketches by hand.

I run a graphic design business full time from a home-based studio in Hemet, California. I work with clients all over the world virtually providing many different services; in particular Cartooning and Illustration which include licensed character art, character design, and commission illustration for products.

Although my personal drawing style is similar to Disney, I am versatile and can match most cartooning styles. I work with creative directors on licensed character art and have recently completed some work on “Barbie; A Fashion Fairytale” and The Toon Studio of Beverly Hill’s “Fairy Tale High”.

I have illustrated a variety of consumer products such as games, children’s books, packaging, greeting cards, and t-shirts just to name a few. I do a lot of work with clients who need new characters designed for their projects and/or products and offers the copyrights to these characters at affordable rates.

In addition to illustrating cartoon art, I also provide digital photo-realistic illustration services. My illustration work appears on many different products. I recently completed several fruit illustrations for a variety of juice containers and a beautiful country scene that appears on milk containers.

The gallery of work that appears here on ArtistBe.com show a range from photo-realistic to cartooning and character design. One of my newest illustration concepts involve drawing fantasy worlds made of candy and drawn using photo-realistic techniques…a blend of both worlds.

I hope you enjoy my work,

Malane Newman
