the art challenge that changed my life // 2023 illustration portfolio tour

Описание: My biggest art goal for 2023 was to take the 20 themes from my scene studies challenge and use them to create 20 illustrations of my own. To take the new skills I’d build and put them into my own artwork. This challenge truly changed my life. Spoiler alert: it helped me find my style. So grab some tea, and let’s take a portfolio tour!
