Most of these illustrations were created using Procreate on an iPad, with a few exceptions done in Illustrator or through hand-painting. As I became more skilled in vector illustration, I challenged myself to learn Procreate and explore hand-drawing techniques. These pieces represent my early work as I familiarized myself with the software.
Now, I use Procreate daily in my job, and mastering this tool has proven invaluable. Returning to hand-drawing offered a refreshing change, allowing me to merge my digital illustration skills with traditional techniques. This transition enhanced my creativity and broadened my range of design tools for creating engaging and visually appealing content.
Using Procreate has added a unique and personal touch to my design work, enriching each project I undertake.
