With You

Rosalie F.

  • I use an iPad, apple pencil, and procreate. My artist process for bigger pieces like this includes a sketch of my idea, then turning it into line art to clean it up. I then paint in grayscale to check the values but also to use the gradient maps that procreate provide. I created my own gradient map, I wanted my piece to be colorful and strong so I chose complementary colors: orange and blue. Then on a separate layer on top of the line art and coloring, I render with various different brushes until I'm satisfied with my work.

    This piece was based off an interaction with someone I hold dear. Life will always feel more safe and colorful with them, life will always seem less scary in their embrace.

  • Expressing my creativity and artistic abilities gave me a way to release my emotions into the world without actually having to breathe the words out. Exploring my limits of creativity is a way for me to acknowledge my feelings.
