Craig Orback’s illustration style is realistic, painterly, and highly narrative, with a strong emphasis on expressive characters, dramatic lighting, and carefully researched settings. His work often has a classic American illustration feel, reflecting his admiration for artists such as N. C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell. Additionally, dynamic perspectives and cinematic compositions give his scenes energy.

Craig’s work is all handcrafted. While working In Procreate or a bit of Photoshop, it’s all creativity that comes from hand drawing. No AI, not bots, no doubt about it.
