A course by Charlotte Delarue
Charlotte Delarue is an art director specialized in illustration. Drawing has always been an important part of her life, so naturally she chose to study applied arts at EPSAA. She worked for seven years for the Surface to Air studio, an experience that allowed her to try her hand at everything and create her very first illustrations for the music industry.
She finally moved to New York and began a freelance career that allowed her to hone her style with a mechanical pencil. Since then, she has worked in the press for the likes of So Press, Les Inrocks, the Wall Street Journal, and Society, for music artists such as Metronomy, Selena Gomez, Yarol, and Clara Luciani, and start-ups like Glossier, Etendard Management, and Sourcewhere.
