Part 3 of 3! My favorite of the set!

I did a little class about the process of generating ideas around a topic. ⁠ These illustrations were built around a NYT article title: "Your Social Muscles are Wasting Away. Here's How to Save Them." It was a fun exercise and interesting to create different illustrations for the same idea. ⁠

Part 2 of 3! I did a little class about the process of generating ideas around a topic. So I decided to carry a few (very) different ideas through to the end. (I'll post my favorite last, because ~suspense~! lol) ⁠ ⁠ These illustrations were built around a NYT article title: "Your Social Muscles are Wasting Away. Here's How to Save Them."

I don't think I've shared this yet?

Study of a random internet photo. Satisfying to do!⁠

Work in progress! 🐺

Pretty sure I already posted the finished sketch, but this also has the before! I had asked my sister to draw a scribble on the page and decided I would turn that into something, since I didn't have any ideas on what to draw or any inspiration at the time - and it ended up being a pile of desserts!

(Maybe I'll finally develop & keep a sketchbook habit??? MAYBE???)

Also, anyone know what kind of mushroom that first image is?

Wicked For Good was soooo good! 😄⁠

I made this like 2 years ago and I just realized that I think I never posted it here??? Or at least I had the thought, went looking for it, and couldn't find it. So here you go, my couple-years old Kaleido Star performing that one famous Christmas movie (hint: not Die Hard, lol)!

I actually just rewatched season 1 of Kaleido Star - it still holds its magic for me (even all these years later in which I recognize that the English dub starts out REAL rough and the animation uses an insane number of still shots with panning effects)! I think I'll always love this show! Somehow, it always sparks my creativity <3

Just realized I never posted this from my Instagram! I usually just pick a color scheme and dive Right in, but I decided to do two thumbnail tests and then sit on it for a little bit before I decided. I'm a little surprised which one I went with!
