Hi! I’m Chris Rathbone - a freelance illustrator with a background in Graphic Design and Art Direction. I love the challenge of trying to capture emotion and energy in my illustrations, and I like to use bold colour palettes to further enhance the visual impact of my work.

I work primarily in the sports and automotive industries, and I have created illustrations for a host of clients including Formula 1, the NBA, Red Bull, Puma, ATP, Ferrari, the Boston Celtics, Formula E, W Series, William Hill, 888 Sport, the Tour De France and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I have also created illustrations for leading magazines such as CAR Magazine, Top Gear, Forbes Magazine and Match of the Day, and I have been commissioned by a U.S. publishing house to illustrate a series of sports related books.

I have been a part of several live drawing sessions for clients such the NBA and Motorsport live where I have created illustrations live on stage whilst talking through my work and answering questions from the crowd.

I regularly get asked about how I create my work, and my workflow process, so I wanted to set up some tutorials for everyone to (hopefully!) enjoy and learn from.

Thanks,

Chris
