Brooke Connor

Whimsical Animal Illustration Artist

Brooke Connor is a whimsical animal illustration artist. She uses primarily Copic Markers to create eye-popping representations of all kinds of animals. Copic markers are alcohol based, so they are kind of like watercolors, in that they can be transparent and can be blended. However, in a way, they are much easier to control than watercolors.

Brooke’s drawings start out with a pencil sketch, followed by an ink outline, and then layers of colors are added and subtracted. Layering is what separates basic “coloring” from art. The pencil sketches start out semi-realistic so that the animal is recognizable and familiar. And then it all goes downhill from there.

All of Brooke’s designs are from original animal illustrations using an arsenal of over 225 differently colored markers and her imagination.

Brooke Connor lives in Boulder, Colorado.
