I’ve just become Harry Nesbitt’s newest fan. His crisp and wholesome digital illustrations demonstrate a high level of drawing skill, as well as an accurate ability to create third dimensional shape with imaginative characters.

For someone new to the scene, this Liverpool-based artist bodes well for the future.

And a very pleasant short video documenting the daily life of one of his characters, showing really cool use of lighting and minimal colours:

    This is phenomenal stuff! He seems to not only have a tremendous imagination, but also a real love for his characters and environments.

    First time I happened across this site. Very nice work here, Alex. I also like you’re own illustration style. I’m a big fan of simple, clean, fun design.

    This is great. Some aspects of his style really remind me of Mcbess. Are you familiar with his work?

    Absolutely – his work, especially animation is rather mind-blowing. Thanks for mentioning! MoonApe

    WAT too similar to Mcbess in my opinion – a complete bite! See what I mean at http://www.mcbess.com

    Aw yeah, I thought this was McBess at first.
    Oh well, it’s still pretty.

    I think Harry’s work should be respected for what it is, the skill and the style it’s done in.

    If you recognize elements in it that remind you of other artists, then that’s nothing new, as the illustration world is driven by people influencing and feeding off each other. It’s how the industry works, and it’s great to see a young illustrator taking a style in his own direction.

    This seems way to similar to mcBess to not to be a rip. Great execution, but unoriginal.
