Stylish Character Illustration in Procreate

Josephine Rais always wanted to be an illustrator, and studying product design and aesthetic composition allowed her to develop her artistic skills as well as build her portfolio. After graduating, she started work as a freelancer, publishing her illustrations on social media. Before long, she was able to build a list of contacts in Berlin, and later, across the world, earning her first commissions.

Josephine's work is characterized by bright colors, peculiar perspectives, and expressive characters that embody everyday situations, and often, the specific needs and struggles of women. Her artistic influences include Studio Ghibli, illustrator Christoph Niemann, and writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Her pieces have appeared in various magazines such as Die Zeit, Playboy, and Cosmopolitan as well as on product packaging. She has also done illustrations for Facebook, Nike, and adidas.
