Hi Stephanie! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Stephanie, I’m an Indonesian illustrator who works in a Motion Graphic company in Singapore. I also do my own personal project during my free time and do my own merchandise.

How would describe your art styles?

I would describe my art style as a 80s/90s anime retro style.

Where do you get your inspirations from?

I get my inspirations from old animes that I used to love and also my own feelings.

Can you describe to us the process of an artwork - from gathering inspirations to the final product?

Most of the time I would get inspired by how I feel on that day and when it’s a little bit overwhelming I would execute it directly. In terms of the mood of te illustration and such I would browse my pinterest board.

How did your career as an illustrator start?

After graduation, I started my first job and if I have my free time I would practice. I didn’t start with this art style at first I was inspired more by disney concept art. Along the way I told myself that this is my life and my path, I’d rather do something that makes me feel happy that’s how I got comfortable with my style now.

“...to be able to convey my feelings and create my own world”

What do you love the most about being an illustrator?

I guess to be able to convey my feelings and create my own world

Are there any difficulties you went through as an illustrator?

Yes I think it’s to merchandise your artwork. It’s a process of doing tons of selections to make it right until you get a very good quality because it’s hard to survey places to do so.

Do you have any artists or illustrator you look up to?

Oh yes, my biggest inspirations are Ai Yazawa and Satoshi Kon at the moment. I love both art style and content.

What platform do you think is the best to promote your artwork and also to get clients?

For me so far it comes from anywhere but I have to choose Instagram at the moment.

Where are the majority of your audiences from?

Instagram. Although I’m quite active on tumblr and twitter too.

What do you think about the online community for artists and illustrators?

I think it’s getting a lot stronger now and I like how people start to support each other better with all the art tags and also all the collaborations.
