It's a great feeling to look back at your old artwork and see general improvement when you compare it to the newer pages of your sketchbook; however, it's absolutely exhilarating to acknowledge your growth in so many different areas while you're in the midst of creating an illustration. This is one of the latest pages in my sketchbook, and although simple, shows how far I've come as an aspiring artist.
Bold. Daring. Vivid. Clean. These are just a few of the adjectives that I'd use to describe Pernille Orum's artwork. Pernille's character designs are very distinct. Her style is reminiscent of high-quality 2D animation; her use of colors and shading are bold and flat; and her color selection is flawlessly harmonious. . . Whether it's a quirk of an eyebrow to the way a character's arms are positioned, Pernille's character designs project subtle mannerisms that speaks wonders. . .
Alone time is difficult to come by on the farm that I'm currently staying at. I share a room with my dad and brother, in a space that doesn't accommodate much outside of 3 beds and a dresser. My little cousins are also on holiday from school at the moment; hence, there are about 5 kids between the ages of 5-13 in this house at a given moment. Practicing art becomes quite difficult when children are constantly hovering over you while you're attempting to be creative—and even more difficult when they try to play with your limited (and expensive) art supplies, but I digress. . .
Aside from her killer personality being a defining factor, DrawingWiffWaffles' art style is unique—you can easily point out her work in a room full of illustrations. Rin sketches with the upmost flow and creativity, with her favored thing to illustrate being female characters in a cartoon-esque style. By filming her entire process from concept to color, she opens a door into what goes through an artist's mind as they create. . .
