NEW VIDEO UP! 📢 I am not really a fan of videographer. At times like this, I want to make a change. A lot of artists like you and me are constantly under a battle within ourselves and the world. We are often misunderstood or sometimes being told that "Art can't make a living". Now I tell myself, should I change? Art is my true calling, I'm not going to change that. I can't stay in my usual chirpy character here anymore because I find it so tiring to pretend that I'm fine. So here I am, changing to help myself and you, to see that you can also have the right to change yourself to help your artistic talents to shine. ♥️ This piece is the first installment of Lunar Accords, hosted by @byloishannah, @nadiarausa, @artchiu and @ire.ma I wanted to explore art nouveau drawing with Japanese elements to it. The keywords for this piece are "lunar eclipse" and "shadow". I drew a Shadow Empress, dressed in white kimono with dark navy shades. I feel great to take this challenge because it allows me to explore my capabilities as an illustrator, and also expand my horizon to explore new styles and colours. You can check out my painting process via YouTube. LINK IN BIO, that's where you'll find me. Thank you so much for your love and attention and I hope to see you in the next installment! 💕 . . #heilynyip #illustrator #artistofinstagram #illustrationartists #artist #instaartist #illustration #lunaraccords #thankyou #loveyourself #love #lovemyself #shadowempress #artnouveau #fantasyart #lunareclipse #japaneseaesthetic #youtubevideo https://www.instagram.com/p/CTyg2q3JpTr/?utm_medium=tumblr
