This is an ongoing collection of visual studies, illustrations, and exploratory design work. Pieces that might otherwise live in a sketchbook page or an Instagram feed now curated here. 

​​

Here you'll find: 

​​

• Character design studies focusing on anatomy, shape language, and stylization (human, animal, and anthropomorphic).

• Prop, costume, and environment sketches.

• Traditional sketchbook pages alongside digital painting experiments.

​​​

Each piece reflects Elise's evolving visual language, rooted in minimalist playfulness, storytelling-inspired design. 

​

Influences include mid-century illustration, folk art, and surrealism. 

​

This sketchbook offers a candid peek into Elise's creative process and the visual groundwork behind her graphic novels. The hope is that anyone exploring this space might walk away with a bit of inspiration and perhaps a spark of their own. ​​
