Without thinking, I drew an object that I use a lot. Because there are a lot of curves, adding gradation is a bit awkward haha

It’s not an object but..! I tried drawing a photo of a place I went to recently! I think there are a lot of awkward places because I don’t have enough experience with perspective.

Illustrator 221

@221._._

I'm 221, an illustrator who brings loneliness to life through art. Additionally, I record my life’s events and emotions in drawings.

I used to like drawing with my hands, but I started digital drawing because I thought I was too hesitant when using colors. Through that practice, I recognized the charms of digital drawing.

I reflect on my memories and feelings from the past, or draw things that affect me in my life. It is sometimes a space that actually exists, but I also work to turn emotions into virtual spaces. Often times, scenes from a movie or a Japanese animation are often reflected in my work.

You may think that the feelings from the word 'loneliness' itself and the atmosphere of my work are somewhat dark, but I draw illustrations where 'people' don't appear at all because I try to draw artwork that anyone can relate to.
