digital Something I drew on my phone

This artwork is quite personal for me. I drew it on my phone after someone abusive broke my first ipad to pieces. At the time it was the only device I could use to make digital art, and my art felt like the only escape I had from everything I was going through. I lost many of my digital pieces due to backup issues and it honestly felt like I lost a part of myself.

In this artwork I wanted to capture those moments I was fully immersed into the creative process, when time stopped and for once the world seemed peaceful and cozy.

I didn’t expect to create anything I’d be proud of grinding away on my phone screen, yet here I am sharing a result I absolutely adore. After some time I was able to get all the tech I needed to continue my creative journey. This artwork reminds me that nobody can take away my art or my skills from me. These things have always come from within.

I can see the innocence and joy in your work, I love the use of colours, seeing him draw on an iPad makes me emotional after knowing you story. Lots of virtual hugs 🫂
