/pt.2 of 2/ Never would have thought i would be assigned to portrait @f1 drivers. 🏎🔥 When @mono_chro.me commissioned me to draw the portraits of two of world’s most favorite F1 drivers - @michaelschumacher and @lewishamilton (both portraits to appear on @mono_chro.me and his team’s upcoming project) all these warm childhood memories came back to me. (see my previous post to read about it😸) Lewis Hamilton and his sheer amount of talent. A record breaker. A caring soul. Pushes diversity and wants a positive change in the world. A true legend! I hope i did well capturing him. 🙏 Portraying two of the greatest Formula 1 drivers was a challenge out of my comfort zone but so fulfilling. ❤️ Thank you, @mono_chro.me for the trust! 🌻 . . . #stalkersince1993 #lewishamilton #f1 #portraitoftheday #digitalart #digitalportrait #digitalillustration #illustrationartist #LH44 #lewishamilton44 @mercedesamgf1 #lewishamiltonfans #f1art @mercedesamg #f1artwork #lewishamiltonteam #illustrationoftheday #teamLH #mercedesamgf1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9d21iDrmP/?igshid=vw42ys3pme48

I grew up watching Formula 1 with my dad every Sunday. I would get excited in the beginning of each new week and couldn’t wait for Sunday to come because it always felt like a holiday. Michael Schumacher of course was our favorite F1 driver and i felt extra special having ‘Mihaela’ as my given name.😌 I think at that time i wasn’t really involved into learning everything about the f1 racing and its rules because i don’t remember asking questions to my dad about it like i would normally do when i was a kid. I just loved to watch the race, the cars, the wins, especially the racing suits and the many logos on them - totally obsessed with that. Guess, i was drawned into the details since young age. 🔍 Portraying two of the greatest Formula 1 drivers was a challenge out of my comfort zone but so fulfilling. ❤️ Thank you, @mono_chro.me for the trust! 🌻 . . . #stalkersince1993 #michaelschumacher #illustrationart #digitalportrait #teamms @ferraridriveracademy #digitalillustration #comicsart #formula1 #f1 @keepfighting #ferrari #teammichael #keepfightingmichael #formula1art #f1art #artistsoninstagram #illustrationart #portraitart #motorsports https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4Twuajknv/?igshid=zjmbcl9ymdt9

“I'm waiting for the light to change You ask me how I've been and I'm good, I can't complain” 💙🕊 . . . ——————- Many times i lightened my mood on my way to school while listening to the Best Day Ever mixtape and Blue Slide Park album. “Life couldn’t get better, this gon’ be the best day ever” was my everyday mantra and i couldn’t help but sing it like the song. Even now i am writing this with the melody of that line on my mind. So many times i caught myself relating to his lyrics...So.Many.Times! Got myself hooked on the first listen with every new released album (it was really hard not to). Each time i hear few particular songs of Mac’s , so many warm memories come to my mind. Many times i wished i could have the word-play talent he had. What i did was to re-read each line, understand it and memorize it. Many times i wished to have the ability to express my feelings with words so well like he did, I thought this would ease my unrestful mind a little bit. So many times i wished he was still here. Miss you, @macmiller ! #92tillinfinity This one’s for you! 💙 . . . #stalkersince1993 #macmiller #macmillertribute #illustrationart #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreateart #macmilleredit @92tilinfinity #procreateillustration #macmillerart #blueslidepark #coverartdesign #coverart #malcolmmccormick #tributeart #mostdopefamily #mostdope (at Blue Slide Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYovVcD1R1/?igshid=8ax6eesalb70

Mm, hello there. This is Pierre speaking - the handsome tattooed fella on the left. It was about time to force @stalkersince1993 to put me on a @i_d cover. I’m not so big egomaniac, so i asked her to join me, duh. And here we are. 👁 Don’t forget - there’s two sides to every story. ☎️ . . *I-D magazine appreciation post* . . #stalkersince1993 #idfanart #idcover #fanart #illustrationartists #characterdesign #characterart #cartoonart #cartoonist #illustrationoftheday #coverart #cartoony #magazinecover #magazinecoverart #tattoed #inkedboy #musicart #musicartwork #illustration_art #handtattoos (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDydtLLDTLY/?igshid=17zwhhf5ne99h

T-shirt framed as a daily reminder that dreams really do come true. 🕊❤️🕊 Forever thankful! @cagetheelephant ————- Few months ago one of my favorite bands Cage The Elephant released this special edition t-shirt with my illustration on it . All proceeds went to their tour family/crew who are currently out of work due to Covid-19. You can still support the cause on their website. . . . #stalkersince1993 #cagetheelephant #crewmerch #merchandise #illustrationart #musicart #tshirtdesign #cagetheelephantart #cagetheelephanttour #cte #cagetheelephantcover #bandmerch #bandmerchandise #illustrationartists #musicartwork #musicartists #bandmembers #cagetheelephantfans (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_PS32Dt_7/?igshid=1u14334t77hib

Losing track of time while doing something you love doing is probably one of the best feelings - to me at least. Not thinking about time gives you freedom and being free leads you to just create without having the need to control everything. And for me that’s a place of serenity. I collaborated with @kirill_mednikov on this illustration to create a portrait of him - “lost” in time in his safe place while writing music. ✨ Thank you for your trust, Kirill ! 🌿🧡🌿 . . . #stalkersince1993 #digitaldrawing #digitalillustration #portraitoftheday #digitalart #illustrationart #illustrationdrawing #musicart #musician #songwriter #portraitart #guitarist #illustrationartist #musicartwork #procreate #procreateillustration #glasshouse #musicartist #illustrationartists (at Saint Petersburg, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC5Xq7KjCSJ/?igshid=kw5xxrepg4u1

Here we are - exploring and being curious as usual. 🌚🌝 Being an artist means you spend a lot of time observing, exploring, asking yourself questions and finding explanation . Then comes the drawing part and long hours of practice. Exploring becomes your routine - you look at people’s features, postures, expressions, nature, buildings, paintings, objects. You are always on the run for something new to spark your interest and to fill you with this powerful energy. You become a traveler through an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it. That’s hella awesome routine! 🌿🍃🍃 P.S. Now you know where my artistic name is coming from. 👀🔎 . . . #stalkersince1993 #digitalart #digitaldrawing #collage #illustrationoftheday #illustrationart #illustratorsoninstagram #thebeatles #exploring #curious #beatlemania #fashionillustration #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration #cartoon #cartoonart #fashionillustrators (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCX-tV-j9xB/?igshid=1lm311yqwvqy7

“Apollo was a major Greek god who was associated with the bow, music, poetry and divination. The epitome of youth and beauty, source of life and healing, patron of the civilized arts, and as bright and powerful as the sun itself, Apollo was, arguably, the most loved of all the Greek gods.” Swipe to see the time-lapse video of coloring @harris_reed ‘s portrait on @procreate + some close-up details.

I decided to include statues in this artwork for extra symbolism.❤️ Michelangelo's David has become one of the most recognized works of Renaissance sculpture and it’s a symbol of strength and youthful beauty.

I’ve always been drawned to what’s behind the scenes : how a song was written, how a collection was done, mood-boards, sketches, photographs of the process. Everything that tells you a story. To draw a portrait of a favorite fashion designer&fashion guru of mine in his atelier, wearing his signature full white look came naturally to me. @harris_reed is a muse and i really adore everything this brilliant mind does! I just can’t take my eyes off of his extraordinary and one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Dreaming of the day i’ll wear a piece of Harris Reed’s gorgeous designs . ☁️🖤☁️ 💌Full illustration and details on the right 💌 . . . #stalkersince1993 #harrisreed #illustrationoftheday #digitalillustration #illustrationart #fashionillustration @bazaaruk #artistsoninstagram @gucci #fashiondesigner @voguebeauty #fashionillustrated #romanticism #clothingdesign @vogue #designeratelier #atelier #procreateillustration #romanticism #harrisreedgucci #fashionillustrationoftheday #gucci #voguemagazine (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIjgDsjlGK/?igshid=1mp03z6h248ai

I’ve had the chance to collaborate with this beautiful soul, great singer, musician and songwriter - @sweetbabysauce He sent me a song a while ago and i illustrated what i felt while listening to it. His music is so beautiful and just puts you in a chill state of mind!What a dream. Definitely head over to his account and click the link in bio to listen to his songs. Thank you, Bodie for your trust ! It was a pleasure for me to illustrate you in this dreamy sunflower field. 🌻💛🌻 . . . #stalkersince1993 #illustrationart #illustrationartist #coverart #musicartists #musicart #procreateillustration #procreate #illustrationoftheday #illustagram #musicillustration #musicartist @procreate #sunflowerfield #illustrationartists #illustration_daily #coverillustration (at Newcastle, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBiTfw7juZz/?igshid=1sa10umw6rd2c
