#illustrationweek

It took me about 7 years after graduation, honing my craft and making many mistakes, to get a piece into the @american_illustration_winners contest. I feel that same thrill this year to have these 4 pieces accepted. The last collage-esque piece was my first illustration that got into the competition back in 2002. I was doing collage type work during my first 7 years and this was a sort of transition piece to what I do now. It reminds me to keep pushing my work and to take chances in order to grow. See you all tomorrow at the AI party! @angelorensanzfoundation #illustrationweek 1. Sia for @rollingstone 2. Moonshot for cover of CIO mag 3. Book cover for Get In Trouble 4. Trump for cover of @washingtonpost 5. My first illustration accepted into this contest back in 2002 - Gimme Shelter for PLANSPONSOR mag

For the last day of #blissplantweek I decided to draw the Rosewater Queen herself @b.bro.phy! The prompt is: Rose 🌹🍃🍷 This week has been spectacular! Thank you so much to all of the lovely co-hosts I had the pleasure of drawing and sharing with! And everybody who participated and made it through the whole week or even a day of drawing! Either way that's an incredible accomplishment 😍 Keep an eye open for a story poll in the following days regarding which designs and what you'd like to see them as! Prompts always keep me going with creativity and I'm thankful to be a part of a community that shares and supplies their time and prompts with everybody! So a HUGE shoutout to these amazing artists 💜 @whatsitgonnabean @b.bro.phy @missrainartwork @omgjenniqueartworks @lizillustrates3 @temporaryplacesshop @sydney_warnes #artbyrachels #illustration #illustrationweek #drawingchallenge #rose #rosedrawing #psychedelicart #comicartist #cartoonist #cartoons #characterdesign #space #galactic #surfculture #skateart #digitalart #spacedrawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawingprompts #cuteillustration #weirdo #weird #posterdesign #charactersbyrachels #tshirtdesign #tattoodesign #portraitsbyrachels #portrait #cartoonportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JuNozhusW/?igshid=15r34a4hs2l0j
