The evolution of my journey with #MatsBootcamp2018 #makeartthatsells . Since my first assignment in January I've been challenged being my comfort zone and I like it. I need more! #matsbootcamp #illustration (at New York, New York)

A summary of my work created for #MatsBootcamp2018 sans the final assignment (still working on this). I can already see some improvement in my art. I can't wait to finish and start my next class. #matsbootcamp2018 #lilarogers #makeartthatsells #insomniousnyc #veronicasotohlampeas #illustratorsofinstagram (at New York, New York)

Here is the grouping of random items and my interpretation of them. #matsbootcamp #lilarogers #makeartthatsells #illustration #matsbootcamp2018 #randomobjects (at New York, New York)

I made it under the wire. Whew! I didn't think i would finish this assignment in time. Thank you @pimpin_tarintino for the title idea. 😉 I can't wait to see what's next! #matsbootcamp2018 #makeartthatsells #lillarogers #licartists #licarts #nyc #illustration #matsbootcamp #RachelMaddow #illustrator @maddowshow #procreate #ipadpro @msnbc @msnbc24hour @maddow

These past couple of months have been full of happy times, sad times (losing a friend really does a number on you), with a sprinkling of some insanity, mayhem, laughter, good food, some much needed family time, pretty much all of it all at once... It took a lot out of me and it is why I haven't been motivated to create anything until now. I am slowly coming out of this fog and am grateful for it. Here is my (very delayed) submission of my May mini-assignment for my #matsbootcamp . Yes, I know we are already in June. 😶 We were given a photo of random items we had to make sense of and create a cohesive piece with those items. This is what made sense to me. I will post the items later. What do you guys think? #matsbootcamp2018 #lilarogers #makeartthatsells #illustration #veronicasotohlampeas #insomniousnyc (at New York, New York)

A little doodle I did several years ago while visiting Florence. What an amazing trip! . #makeartthatsells #tb #matsbootcamp #doodle #matsbootcamp2018 #illustratorsofinstagram #illustration #lillarogers #florence #florenceitaly #duomofirenze #church

This week has been a very long and to be honest i didn't think I would be able to finish this month's assignment. I lost a very good friend this week... suddenly. His passing threw me off my creative path for a bit. But I know he wouldn't have wanted me to veer too far from fulfilling my life's dream. I hope I honor him with what I have been able to create. I used components from my mini assignment, I am happy for a finished piece.❤ #matsbootcamp #sewing #matsbootcamp2018 #art #illustratorsofinstagram #illustration #scissors #lillarogers #homedecor #servingtray #antique #singersewingmachine (at New York, New York)

Found this amazing piece while walking around #streetart #mural #astoriapark #astoria #hellsgatebridge #queens (at Astoria Park)

Here's a snippet of my creative process #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2018 #procreateart #ipadproart #lillarogers #sewing #illustration #antiquesewingmachine #insomniousnyc #antiquesewing #buttons #vshart (at New York, New York)

I was just able to finish this month's mini assignment in the nick of time. For some reason this one stumped me. Maybe being sick this week didn't help either. This week i was supposed to do 3 versions of the same sketch using different mediums for each. (Needless to say, I only did one) The theme was to create a piece with antique sewing tools. This is what I came up with at the very last minute.

Day2: I was able to doodle this "B" while sick this week. It turned out ok. But my goal is to keep adding more to each letter as I progress down the alphabet. We will see what I come up with. Stay tuned! #the100dayproject #typography #lettering #matsbootcamp #illustratorsofinstagram #illustration (at New York, New York)

I've decided to strengthen my #typography skills. I am finding this to be one of my weaker skills when lettering some of my illustrations for #matsbootcamp. So in between my assignments, I am joining the #100dayproject to sharpen my #lettering skills...stay tuned! (at New York, New York)

Here's a video of how i created my doodle. I will try to post more of my procreate videos... stay tuned! Ps. I like the skin tones i used before second guessing myself and erasing it all. I might have to revisit that. #ipadproart #procreateart #makeartthatsells #illustratorsofinstagram #matsbootcamp (at New York, New York)

Just a quick doodle before I start working on my next assignment. I decided to turn it into a pattern. #illustratorsofinstagram #art #makeartthatsells #lillarogers #matsbootcamp #pattern #procreateart #artsubmit #competitions #artsubmission #vintagehats #ipadproart #matsbootcamp2018 #females (at New York, New York)
