1. What's your story? Where are you from?

My name is Resi Bhaskoro, I'm 20 years old and I'm an Illustrator from Indonesia. I am currently studying Industrial design, but making illustration has always been my passion. Managing my time between doing college projects and making an illustration sure is not easy, even sometimes.. or most of the time I care more about my illustration than my study. I'm eager to finish my study fast so that I can focus on being a full time illustrator.

Tropical, fashionable, little bit quirky, and I love warm and calm colors.

First thing that I do is turning on a music, then I start gaining some inspiration and reference. This could take me so long, sometimes I got carried away by the infinite Pinterest space.

After I get the visual, I immediately work on Photoshop and exploring more stuff like the colors and the details.

Movies, songs, poets, people, nature and fashion. Those things mostly inspire my works.
