a sneak peak of my working process!
I first create the black and white drawing using pencil, gouache, acrylic, charcoal, and any other tools to achieve the texture I want. The drawing is then scanned and coloured digitally using a layering technique.

FINALLY! 🎉Happy book birthday to GRAVITY IS BRINGING ME DOWN! 🎉🌟
Written by @WendelinVanD, GRAVITY is a funny and fresh take on a day-gone-wrong, when the force of nature is determined to be antagonistic toward Leda from the moment she wakes up!
