Mirror illustration study. I'm happy I finally get to practice this much detail. I worked primarily in Graphic Design before, & most illos I did for brands are simplified/stylized, which is its own kind of difficulty but I never get to do anything like this.

Rock study! 🗿 I drew some of these studies in one layer, so when I open them they look like premade illos included when you first get Procreate. But also like an uploaded image. Good thing there's a timelapse replay to remind me that I did draw these 😅

Shoe study on trad gouache (Himi Gouache to be exact). This was quite tricky for me. Shoes are very symmetrical and inorganic in shape so maybe i shouldn’t have painted traditionally? Nonetheless a good challenge 😄

Photo reference found on Pinterest I can’t seem to find the original!

Marble study. First study ever and I didn’t overthink it then hahaha. It’s rough but took only 50mins so there’s that.

There’s always a pressure to perform in online spaces but for now I feel safe and cozy in this new empty home. Hello!
