This is me.

Hi, I’m Charles West — an illustrator and creative currently studying Advertising at the University of Oregon. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and over time it naturally grew into a huge part of how I think, create, and tell stories. A lot of my work is inspired by cars, architecture, design, and the small details that make something feel alive and memorable.

I mainly work with markers, pen, and mixed media, focusing on hand-drawn pieces that combine technical detail with a more expressive, personal style. Whether it’s an automotive rendering, architectural study, or experimental sketch, I’m always trying to create work that feels thoughtful, immersive, and authentic to me. This portfolio is a collection of projects, ideas, and creative exploration that reflects both where I started and where I’m headed.
