Illustration is at the core of Toop Studio’s design practice, bringing originality and character to branding, packaging, publishing, and advertising projects, as well as standalone commissions.
Our work often combines drawing, painting, collage, linocut, woodcut, and photography with digital processes. In an era of AI-generated imagery, our illustrations stand out for their unmistakably human-made aesthetic.

Pen or brush on paper produces crisp, expressive black-and-white illustrations, ideal for children’s books, magazines, and editorial content.
Ink drawings enhanced with colour, either on paper or digitally, retain texture and vibrancy. Perfect for cover art, editorial illustration, and posters.
Watercolour, gouache, or thinned oils are scanned and compiled from multiple paintings. This technique allows flexible composition and rich textures.
Digital artwork echoing traditional screen printing, with strong blocks of colour and pared-down palettes. A style rooted in the striking look of 1950s–60s graphic design, ideal for posters, covers, and branding.
Ink drawings on paper, rich with hand-made texture, are scanned and layered digitally with added colour and line. The result keeps the tactile quality of ink while allowing flexible editing and variations.
Photography combined with painted textures, then refined digitally to create cinematic images. A rich, layered technique well suited to fashion, campaigns, and advertising.
Hand-carved and printed, in black or layered colours, sometimes with digital colour added. Excellent for minimalist designs, book covers, and posters.
We create bold compositions digitally using photography and public-domain images. Influenced by 20th-century collage artists.
We begin with a digital collage, print and overpaint it, then scan and refine digitally. The result is a richly layered image with a sometimes surreal quality.
Drawn directly on a tablet, digital illustration offers precise line control, layering, and editing. Ideal for packaging, maps, diagrams, and wall graphics.
Our cartoons are drawn by hand in vector format. Perfect for bringing humour and personality to campaigns, advertising, editorial work, and publishing.
We explore unusual media and combinations, from bleach and ink to 2D collages with 3D materials. Produces unique, one-of-a-kind illustrations.
