- Sophie Roach: Psychedelic Tribal Art artist -

After viewing various examples of Psychedelic Tribal Art, I came across the artist Sophie Roach (http://sophieroach.com/).  Roach creates amazing pieces of detailed artwork, starting with fineliner pen drawings before colouring the page in with various colours and sometimes adding details.

Some of her pieces have a clear centre to them.  For example, this piece seems to show a setting sun behind different coloured waves of the sea, coloured in pastel colours within a circle directly in the centre; the surrounding patterns contrast in both their colours and density.

Some of her works seem to tell a story, as well as having detail only on specific points of the page rather than fully covered.


I would like to try some drawings in this style - detailed and intricate, with different colours.  The style is cartoon-like, but also manages to encompass a high level of detail and story.
