Ask Me Anything

The concept of ‘Ask Me Anything’ / ‘#100daysof_Lu’ launched in March 2018 and simply asked followers to pose a question (submitted via social media platforms) that resulted in me drawing them an answer. Using some basic guidelines, this allowed for followers to have a direct influence over the artwork that I produced.

I used my favoured medium of ‘pen and ink’ illustration and set out to maintain a strong personal identity throughout the series of drawings, as well as allowing for creative flexibility.

This project has resulted in a collection of 50 illustrations, each of which reveal a different part of my personality.

Materials

Illustrations: Hand drawn using Copic Multiliner and Sakura Pigma Micron archival ink fineliners on cartridge paper.
