Community member Publish Not your original work? Add source Though good-looking details and sharp aesthetics are a plus for illustrations, not having them can be a good thing too. Simplicity in illustration helps to express the idea without any unnecessary distractions or needless clutter and helps us focus on the main message more than the flashy details. Enter Liana Finck, who's a master of this style of simplistic illustration. When you look at it, you might think "hey, I could've drawn that!" and you're probably right, but it doesn't subtract from the fact that they're very relatable, insightful, funny, quite original, and explore much deeper themes than the illustration might initially suggest.

I️ have a younger brother named Gideon. We always had a dog. I️ went to small Jewish schools without much in the way of art classes, so my very specific training all came from my mom until I️ started preparing a portfolio to apply for art colleges.

"I️ hope I️ can keep making a living doing what I️ do. It's not something I️ take the least bit for granted. I'm about to have a baby. I️ have no idea how things will change for me after that, but supporting my family from my cartooning work is my main goal. I️ have a few books out. My latest graphic novel is called Passing for Human, and my collection of Instagram cartoons is called Excuse Me. I'll have another graphic novel, Let There Be Light, out in early 2022." And if you want to become like her someday, she's given a solid piece of advice for future illustration artists: "Don't try too hard to be professional. It's all about communication, saying something you want to say. It's not about aesthetics. Advice #2: you will need to learn to roll with the punches: periods of failure, being ignored, etc. This will never go away. But you will get better at coping with it. And the successes are always nice." #12 lianafinck Report Final score: 55points POST Rachel Kail Rachel Kail Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yeah, that actually makes more sense 14 14points reply View more comments #13 lianafinck Report Final score: 53points POST Mewton’s Third Paw Mewton’s Third Paw Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Damn.

I️ also go to the Frank Lloyd Wright room every time I️ go to the Met. It reminds me of the house I️ grew up in. I️ wish I️ could sit in the chairs and draw." #10 lianafinck Report Final score: 57points POST Emma Byrne Emma Byrne Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Boundaries are healthy and useful.

"I️ hope I️ can keep making a living doing what I️ do. It's not something I️ take the least bit for granted. I'm about to have a baby. I️ have no idea how things will change for me after that, but supporting my family from my cartooning work is my main goal. I️ have a few books out. My latest graphic novel is called Passing for Human, and my collection of Instagram cartoons is called Excuse Me. I'll have another graphic novel, Let There Be Light, out in early 2022." And if you want to become like her someday, she's given a solid piece of advice for future illustration artists: "Don't try too hard to be professional. It's all about communication, saying something you want to say. It's not about aesthetics. Advice #2: you will need to learn to roll with the punches: periods of failure, being ignored, etc. This will never go away. But you will get better at coping with it. And the successes are always nice." #12 lianafinck Report Final score: 55points POST Rachel Kail Rachel Kail Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yeah, that actually makes more sense 14 14points reply View more comments #13 lianafinck Report Final score: 53points POST Mewton’s Third Paw Mewton’s Third Paw Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Damn.

People won’t let us be assertive or aggressive without it being seen as mean or bitchy. Or just get taken advantage of. I’m pretty hardcore in general and I can still see people trying to take advantage of my kindness. It’s shitty. 5 5points reply View More Replies...
