Acrylic & Marker on Canvas
Like many other illustrators and graphic designers, her approach to a design will change based on the mood of the project, the audience, and other factors. Regardless of the project though, she always starts traditionally, with a pencil sketch on paper. Once she's satisfied with her original concept, she will convert her sketches into a digital artwork, or occasionally finish it by hand.
