Gemma uses pens for drawing and then scans her images into Photoshop to adjust the color levels.
Love how she makes being an outcast surprisingly cool.
Update:We got in touch with the talented illustrator after writing this post.
Read that interview below.
How do you come up with your hilarious illustrations?
What is your creative process like?Most of my work starts off in a sketchbook.
I enjoy the process of coming up with ideas.
Some of my drawings don’t progress beyond the sketchbook.
There’s humor everywhere if you’re looking for it.
What do you like most about being an illustrator?I love that it’s not a 9-5 job.
I will admit to being a night owl though I actually work best in the evenings).
I can sit at my desk and drink coffee with my pug on my lap and draw.
I get to draw for my job.
Sometimes I can’t believe how lucky I am.
What do you find most challenging?It’s not the most stable of jobs.
I’m so glad I made that decision though now I can’t imagine doing anything else.
What advice would you give to artists or illustrators just starting out?Be prepared to work hard.
It doesn’t happen overnight, so don’t give up too quickly!
Thanks for the interview, Gemma.
