About
Hey! my name is Christopher Aikman and I am an illustrator from Scotland, I really enjoy working with a variety of mediums to creatively achieve my illustrations. Challenging myself with new and exciting projects allows me to constantly grow as I am not sticking to one medium or any particular style. However, I relish the moments when I get to work on personal projects as lately, I have been enjoying working with watercolours and coloured pencils.
Having studied for 4 years at Edinburgh College and now moving to Cardiff, Wales to study at Cardiff Metropolitan University, I am looking forward to what my future holds and all the interesting people and work I am going to create.
You can jump in to see my shenanigans over at my Instagram where I post regularly on what I'm working on and what I am up to.
