Ben Tour

"Cold 2" Ben tour
"Blood 2" Ben Tour

Ben Tour is an illustrator and figurative painter. he uses a variety of applications of paint to create his work, and is most noted for using a large majority of female characters in his paintings. His illustrations of the female form are incredibly anatomically accurate, most especially the facial structure of his subjects. His use of perspective and different angles is really interesting and makes for much more dynamic facial contours than many other artists using human form. The bold use of colour brings the characters to life and expresses a lot of emotion over the ultra realistic shape of the faces.
As far as I can tell, Ben Tour is an artist and illustrator far more than a designer. However, I think that his style gives a really genuinely original feel to his work and could easily stick out in the graphic design industry if given the chance.
