how did you become a professional illustrator? I'm not super particular when it comes to traditional media, but my super favs are Micron pens (.2 is my favorite size), Prismacolor colored pencils, and this incredible set of Stampin' Write double-ended brush markers my aunt got me years ago that I love with all my heart. what are your favorite procreate brushes?ĦB Pencil, Monoline, Technical Pen (at 90ish percent opacity), and Watercolor are all favs. In the past, I've used Acorn for Mac by Flying Meat Software (big love), Wacom tablets (the Bamboo Capture and then the Cintiq), and the iPhone app Genius Scan for scanning ink drawings into my computer. Follow me on social media (at the bottom of the page) to stay updated! What tools do you use for digital art?Ĭurrently, I work with an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app, my favorite setup yet!! I also sometimes edit my art (and make gifs) with Photoshop. Not yet, but I do try to sell at the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago a few times a year. I was inspired by this Ingrid Bergman quote: "I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up!" ♥ can i buy your prints at any brick-and-mortar shops? Don't stress if it takes a while, just keep doing your thing! how did you come up with the name Roaring Softly?

My biggest advice is to draw lots of art and post it all over your social media!! Literally every art opportunity I have ever gotten has resulted from someone finding my art online. what is your advice for aspiring illustrators? I sell prints at my etsy shop and other stuff at my society6 shop. Instagram is the best place to stay updated.įor publishing inquiries, plz contact my rockstar literary agent Monica Odom at where can i buy your stuff online? I'd love to, but I probably can't for a while! My commissions are closed right now while I work on my book, but if/when I open them back up I'll make sure to announce on social media.

Yep! Surprise! can you draw me/my family/my favorite harry potter character/my pet rock?
