Eveline Vanparys handgetekende illustraties

Illustrations from Mechelen

This page offers a closer look at Eveline Vanparys’ hand-drawn portfolio and the unique pieces born from Mechelen’s streets, culture, and everyday stories.

An artist’s elegant workspace featuring a selection of unique, hand-drawn product packaging—small, refined boxes and paper bags adorned with subtle, minimalist illustrations in muted teal and taupe. The packages are arranged thoughtfully on a matte white table near a slender glass vase holding a single dried branch, set against a whisper-grey, gently textured backdrop. Illumination comes from soft midday light filtered through frosted glass, casting delicate, natural shadows and accentuating the paper’s fine grain. Viewed from a slightly elevated, three-quarters angle, the composition highlights the product’s sophistication while maintaining an uncluttered, photorealistic, and refined aesthetic true to a high-caliber portfolio site.

A pristine set of hand-drawn cityscape illustrations inspired by Mechelen, elegantly framed in minimalist matte black frames, arranged against a subtly textured dove-grey wall. Each illustration showcases refined ink lines and soft watercolor washes in a muted palette, highlighting architectural details unique to Mechelen. Soft overhead gallery lighting casts even illumination with faint, graceful shadows beneath each frame, drawing attention to the intricate artistry without overpowering the composition. The overall view is from a slightly angled perspective at eye-level, utilizing the rule of thirds for visual balance. The atmosphere is serene, quiet, and polished, capturing a sophisticated, photographic yet artistic style befitting a high-end online portfolio.
