Laura Lewis is an american based freelance illustrator who I discovered at the beginning of this year on Twitter. I was fairly new to twitter and was searching up some popular illustrators to start following and her account popped up; I fell in love with her way of drawing as well as her comics.

Her online presence extends from twitter - to other webpages like Tumblr and Instagram (these three seem to be the most popular ways for creatives to document their work now that I think about it).
She's started up a patreon quite recently in order for her followers to donate towards supporting her and her artwork/comics.
Patreon is a website where creatives (or anyone) can advertise the need for donates online! This website is becoming increasingly popular with freelancers involved in illustration and may be something I make an effort to try out next year once I really start developing up my own comics and illustrations. Laura also has an account on the webpage 'ASKfm' where anyone can ask anyone anything, basically its just another public page for fans to ask their idols questions.
Since discovering Lauras work I've invested a few quids in some Copic markers, as I saw Laura works in them quite frequently in her own illustrations; I've used art marker pens before but haven't done in a few months. She also doodles alot about her day to day life and this has inspired me to start keeping a 'daily comic' sketchbook, in order to develop my visual storytelling skills within a comic format. I'll upload a blog about my developments into the sketchbook soon! But this lady is amazing and lovely and you need to check her out!
