A Mother's Love

Children's Publishing

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
I created this piece to add to my portfolio. As a mother myself, I wanted to create a piece that reflected the love between a parent and their child. I wanted to focus in on their embrace and make that the focal point. I added the light coming in from the window to help lead the viewer's eye back to the two characters bonding together.

How was the illustration used:
This was specifically created to include in my children's picture book illustration portfolio.

How did you make this work:
I made this illustration digitally using an app called Procreate on my iPad. I used textured, pencil-like brushes to create this piece.
