“Instagram is a great platform and tool I rely heavily on for inspiration! Instagram really heavily influenced my graphic designs by their look, color palette, and who I choose to illustrate!
A celeb that I love and want to illustrate in the near future would be Lady Gaga. I love her vibe and overall badass attitude! ”

“ I am always inspired but what other creatives are doing on Instagram. I think not many people like to admit this, but so many of my ideas come from other people. I see a typeface someone used over here, a color palette someone used over there, I see a new drawing technique in my trending section and put them all together, change it up to fit my style, and I’ve come up with something completely different. I think this is a great technique for people just starting out, too. It can be really easy to get into a creative rut, so I’m always sure to constantly digest new things and find up and coming creatives to follow.
I’d love to draw The Jonas Brothers, I think they’re next on my (very long) list.”

“I started getting into digital art over the summer after I graduated college and I was just making these drawings but didn’t have anywhere to share them. I use Instagram as a way to now share my illustrations as well as make personal commissions for people. I never knew this art community existed and came to find hundreds of AMAZING artists! I get so inspired by all their different techniques and ideas and I’m so happy with the small amount of success I’ve gained on the platform.
A blogger/celeb that I would love to illustrate would be either another one of Maggie Rogers (LOVE her music & style) or Mariska Hargitay (I mean what a woman !!!). ”

“I love to follow a wide variety of art accounts to inspire my designs. Although I exclusively create and post digital illustrations using Adobe Illustrator and Procreate, I constantly draw inspiration from physical art forms, such as painting, sketching, and sculpture. On my page, I typically feature Fashion/Beauty Influencers and Celebrities, so following a wide variety of accounts allows for constant, diverse streams of inspiration.
In the future, I would love to illustrate a series of powerful female musical artists throughout the past century.”
