Alyssa Winans is an illustrator and concept artist for the gaming industry based in the San Francisco area. She is also a Google Doodle artist.

Winans often uses restrained palettes, along with subtle graphic and textural elements, to give her subjects presence and focus. I enjoy the way she controls her values in textural passages, usually in contrast to the overall value dynamics of the composition.

Her website has a selection of her illustrations and spot illustrations, as well as Google Doodles (see my posts on Google Doodles).

You can also view a somewhat wider selection of her work on her Behance portfolio, as well as on her Tumblr and Instagram accounts.

Winans has prints of her work available on inPrint.
