My first digital illustration

I first learned how to use the Adobe Suite by trading services with a professional illustrator – he stayed in our spare room while navigating a visa pickle, and we spent an hour a day teaching me the ropes. This was my first digital illustration. My mum once described one of her happiest memories – floating in the shallows of the beach while my older brother, a toddler at the time, waded nearby. I used the occasion of her 60th birthday to produce my first digital illustration to record her memory.
