Hmm, How I Made My Portfolio Illustrations
Today I wanted to share with you how I created the illustrations for my portfolio site, Hmm Design. Let’s get to business.

The inspiration for the logo came naturally from the name. So the first thing I did was grab a pencil and start sketching a bee hive.
