Illustrated Self Portrait

Personal project. Illustrated self portrait to celebrate the time spent alone creating illustrations. Created on procreate and later edited in adobe illustrator

Personal project inspired by the Van Gogh Quote "I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away"

I used to feel really guilty about the amount of time I need alone but this year I started to realise that creating safe spaces/time for myself to rest & properly meet my own sensory needs is probably the most important self-care activity I do.

Carefully shutting myself away to create art is as natural & necessary as breathing & I am forever grateful I get to call this my career
