Abigail Swabe

Hey, I’m Abigail! I’ve wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. I really like to draw plants and flowers, nostalgic items like vintage cameras and things that are bright and colorful. I usually start with a color scheme or a theme for a piece first, then start sketching ideas. I love how a project can start as a sketch of yellow flowers and can turn into a colorful series of stickers or an art print or anything at all!

I enjoy drawing both in my sketchbook and on my iPad using Procreate. I think it’s great to be able to easily find reference photos and drop them into Procreate, being able to just find an idea and start drawing is amazing. I also love the texture of drawing in my sketchbook with colored pencils or a Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil, in purple.

When I’m not drawing I like to play video games -Pokemon and The Legend of Zelda are a few of my favorites!- and read books, like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, comics are great too. My favorite things to watch are artist studio vlogs, baking competitions and the 2005 Pride and Prejudice.
