This year, switching from traditional black ink in a moleskin sketchbook to digital illustrations has been exciting. One of the highlights of my illustration journey has been the consistent growth and experimentation that came with taking on a 31-day challenge with prompts inspired by my favorite author Brandon Sanderson. My goal was to create a complete collection of polished artwork for my Instagram audience, which required daily posting on two platforms (posting a photo on the feed + a short-form video) and sharing two or more pieces of content daily.

I started to create epic scenes to capture the essence of my favorite Sanderson characters. Using a monochrome color palette, I explored new techniques like color dodge, blur, and glitch effects.
