Janelle Monae: Digital Illustration

I’ve always been a huge fan of musician, actor, and producer Janelle Monae and her Afrofuturism aesthetic, so when she posted a photo of herself in a spacesuit on her Instagram, I got inspired to paint this homage. Digital illustration created in iPad Procreate.

Digital illustration of musician Janelle Monae dressed as an astronaut. She gazes at the viewer, hands over her heart, with colorful lights playing over her spacesuit.
