About the illustration and an update on Juliana
When I was illustrating I was thinking of something like “To A Hopeful New Year.” Work is going well! Everything has been moved to home so I've been staying at home this entire year haha.
What is your number one idea generation strategy?
A bit of a typical answer, but I usually generate ideas by asking questions. I would ask myself what I want to say and what feelings do I want to convey with the piece I am working on.
What is the best illustration advice you've learned from a mentor, teacher or fellow student?
Do good work, and make pieces that are personal and meaningful to yourself. I think it’s important to always learn from your mistakes, improve, stay true to yourself, and keep going.
Describe an illustration fail that you learnt from?
I would say to never rush completing a piece. I’ve learned It’s important to have good time management so I can take a break, look at a piece with fresh eyes, and complete the work to my satisfaction.
