Desert dreams

Desert Dreams Illustration Project Photo Artwork Rhys Watters Graphic Designer Neon Retrowave

Creating visuals that transport the viewer to another world allows art to transcend reality, offering an escape into imagined spaces shaped by mood, colour, and perspective.

Desert Dreams was developed as a digital illustration for use across commercial applications such as art prints, digital environments, or brand visuals seeking an otherworldly atmosphere.

Inspired by retrowave aesthetics, the piece began as a hand-drawn perspective sketch on paper, which was manually traced into vector form and coloured with rich gradients and a cohesive neon-inspired palette.

The result is a visually immersive artwork designed to evoke nostalgia, depth, and a dreamlike atmosphere.
