Welcome to the Illymakes Art Blog: Drippy Skulls, Digital Creations, and More
Hey there, and welcome to my new blog! If you’re into bold, unconventional artwork—especially drippy skulls, vibrant illustrations, and unique merch—you’re in the right place. My name is Sarah, but you might know me as Illy, and I’m an illustrator and graphic designer from Buffalo, NY. I specialize in digital art, and I love bringing my visions to life in Procreate, mainly using my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
What to Expect from This Blog
This blog is all about my creative process, current projects, past work, and art-related tips. Whether I’m designing a new drippy skull illustration, creating merch for my shops, or experimenting with new tools and techniques, I’ll be sharing it all here. Expect:
- Behind-the-scenes looks at my artwork and how I bring ideas to life
- Tips and tutorials for digital artists, from Procreate tricks to branding insights
- Gear recommendations (iPad drawing accessories, streaming microphones, and more)
- Personal stories about my journey in the art world, including freelance work and collaborations
Why Drippy Skulls?
If you’ve seen my work, you know I have a thing for drippy skulls. I love blending dark aesthetics with vibrant, surreal elements, creating pieces that feel both edgy and expressive. My inspiration comes from music, tattoo art, and the natural world—plus a little bit of chaos from my imagination. I primarily work in Procreate, where I experiment with textures, brushes, and effects to achieve that signature dripping look.
