Sisters, Sisters!

From Kerry Gonzáles:
“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of being an instructor to many wonderful students including both Jill De Haan and her younger sister, Missy Turner in the Graphic Design program at Salt Lake Community College.

It’s been a delight to watch their careers grow as they are both very talented women. Current students benefit from viewing Jill & Missy’s student work as well as professional work.

I’m so proud of Jill & Missy and ALL my former students whatever they do and wherever they go! And I love sharing all these wonderful stories.“

Jill De Haan

I had no idea Procreate recorded when you’re drawing in the app, thanks for the hot tip @jill_dehaan ! It’s fun to see what changed as the illustration progressed (like cookies turning into cupcakes then into a cake). Also, near the end, a stick figure then a sploosh of red are drawn and disappear. I feel like I didn’t draw that…. 👽?
