Yesterday I had so much fun creating this piece and giving you all a glimpse into my illustration process! If you missed it, I’ve added the entire thing to my highlights. Seeing other artists’ processes is so fascinating to me. We all have different ways to work and there is no right or wrong way to create. But it’s also helpful to see what works for others, so if you picked up a tip or two while watching along, yay! And if you saw something I did and thought “wow, why’d she do it that way?”, well, bc it’s just the way I do things. I went to school for art, but never learned photoshop or took an illustration class, so this has all been a process of figuring things out by watching videos, reading the entire internet, and lots of trial and error. My true belief is that the best way to learn is by DOING, but of course it doesn’t hurt to ask lots of questions along the way. Many of you asked what printer I use - it’s an Epson SureColor P800 and it’s ah-maxing! And guess how I found out about it? I reached out to another artist I admire (the super talented @kellyventuradesign ) and asked for advice. I truly enjoyed answering all your questions yesterday and I hope I was able to help. Keep plugging away at making art, figuring it out, and enjoying the process. The process is the best part!
Just a friendly reminder!
