This Pride month, we’re celebrating LGBTQ+ artists across the creative spectrum. Today, we're looking at Armadillo Kat's illustration process on the Wacom One 12 pen display.
We were introduced to their work via recommendation from one of their friends, who let us know that Kat was known in their friend group for illustrating all of their player characters for their Dungeons & Dragons campaigns! Despite their dynamic, fantastical work, Kat isn't an artist, per se -- they just graduated with a degree in engineering! We wanted to see what they'd do with the broad theme of "LGBTQ+ Pride," and boy did they deliver -- creating a tender, cute scene with two of their characters on a beach date. We love the details – the Pride flag allusions, the cups and used plates showing the aftermath of their meal – as well as the overall color story as the sun sets.
Check out this video to learn more about their process!
About the artist:
Armadillo Kat is a 22 year old artist who just graduated with a dual degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Even though they’re going into engineering, drawing has been one of their passions since childhood, and they have been teaching themselves for around 10 years now. They draw most of their illustrations with Clip Studio Paint, and their primary subject matter is fantasy and character designs.
