For today’s feature, she prepared a step-by-step tutorial of her process on making an illustration from start to finish! It’s a cool how-to-make-an-illustration type of lesson worth checking out 🙂

For this topic, she used one of her older works dedicated to a Walt Disney Animation Studio film called “Zootopia”.

(You can check it out at the links below if you want, and also get the super cool The Art of Zootopia book for inspiration! )

For those of you who don’t know, here is a short summary grabbed from the official Disney website:

” From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes a comedy-adventure set in the modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia. Determined to prove herself, Officer Judy Hopps, the first bunny on Zootopia’s police force, jumps at the chance to crack her first case – even if it means partnering with scam-artist fox Nick Wilde to solve the mystery. Bring home this hilarious adventure full of action, heart and tons of bonus extras that take you deeper into the world of Zootopia. It’s big fun for all shapes and species! “

The characters in the movie are so amazingly created that it makes you fall in love with them instantly! I definitely recommend checking it out! I LOVED IT!!
