Sarah Hankinson is a 30 year old Australian who initially
studied graphic design then changed to fine arts and finally illustration. She
finished in 2004 with a Diploma and worked during weekends on her illustration
before being a full time freelance illustrator. 
Her drawings are of modern style, which pair
light splashes of colors and clear lines which create elegant illustrations
using pencils, charcoals, pastels, color pencils, watercolors and photoshop. Her inspiration comes from
blogs, fashion, beauty sites, fashion photography, exhibitions, colors,
cultures, movies and music.
She usually just go straight to her final drawing without rendering, and she will always carry her watercolor palet and pencils everywhere she go to jot down ideas or to have a quick sketch.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNT:
Personally, I really like her style of drawings as they look very elegant and they are of great details. So therefore, my takeaways from her is that, to experiment with different materials, and to find inspirations from anywhere and everywhere as there are no restrictions. And like what she said, “Work hard! Don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t happen straight away it takes time and commitment. If you are passionate you can make it happen.” So we need to be passionate about what we do!
