Illustration, visual storytelling, and character-driven design — all hand-drawn.
Welcome to the channel of illustrator and art director Ian David Marsden. For more than 30 years, I’ve created illustrations, comics, character design, and explainer visuals for clients across Europe, the UK, the US, and beyond. My work includes commissions for Google, Coca-Cola, Volkswagen, Henkel, Daimler-Benz, and publications such as The New Yorker, MAD Magazine, NZZ am Sonntag, and Nebelspalter.
Here you’ll find:
• Explainer & Whiteboard Animation — hand-drawn sequences that clarify complex ideas.
• Editorial Illustration — time-lapse videos from sketch to final art.
• Character & Mascot Design — expressive identities for brands and campaigns.
• Visual Storytelling — comics and narrative illustration.
I also teach Illustration, Visual Arts, and Image Analysis in the 3D Animation & VFX program at ESMA Montpellier.
