my illustration process ✦ from first idea to sketch & flow, storytelling & tarot cards

In this video I show you my illustration process in the context of an art challenge. Getting better at storytelling is important. I talk a bit about Our Planet Week, and how artist can use illustration challenges to improve their skills, build a portfolio or a body of work to put in front of clients. And also learn how to build a storyline, storytelling and build coherence. #vlog #weekinmylife #illustration
