ward-winning professional digital artist
Luke Bailey has been interested and
passionate about art since a very young
age. A few years ago he began seriously
pursuing digital art and quickly found that it was a
genre that he loved. The services he offers range
from book cover design to logos and custom art.HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
I would describe my style as being very dreamlike and
surreal. In most pieces, I like to add exaggerated lighting
effects to really give a fantasy feel to my creations.HOW AND WHEN DID YOU FIRST START
USING PHOTOSHOP?
It all started when I was just 14, when my friend
Bartosz Wozniak (only 16 at the time), was interested
in photography and he introduced me to Photoshop.
He began teaching me just the basics that he knew.
After weeks of learning new things about the
software, I began picking up valuable techniques and
skills through tutorials. It was quite early on that I
started to take interest in fantasy and surreal artwork.
I went to college, studying Art and Design, however
after completing the course I took one year off toSurreal: Bailey found working on this
image a fresh challenge. He says: “I have seen many amazing creations using trees
so I wanted to give it a go myself”I feel that my biggest strength as an artist is that I
pay really close attention to small details in mywork, which makes my artwork more interesting and
helps the viewers think more about the overall piece
