To Better Days

Concept originally inspired by Sonic R's song "Can You Feel the Sunshine". Title inspired by my favorite Incognito song, "Better Days".

An emotional piece that reflects my desire to wake up everyday smiling, being proud of who I am: celebrating both strengths and flaws. I've been not too kind to myself or my work lately, so I felt more compelled to work on this out of the blue. I hope to work towards a better life with less anxiety, a healthier mindset, and to finally believe in...me.

To bloom.

Such an interesting theme for an illustration you got there and, I got to say, you delivered it perfectly! The warm colors,the different textures and the elements like the short text and the flying butterflies/bird give me as well this feeling of hopefulness and cheerfulness when waking up in the morning. Overall, this an eye pleasing drawing to look at that manages to gives me lumewarm smile. Kudos!

Ay, this looks great! Probably my favorite piece of yours so far. The different patterns, clean lines, and the color scheme all work really well together. You really nailed that retro poster vibe.

Thanks Bleak, that means a lot!
