I Lie Awake Wondering..

This illustration is a part of the series I've been working on in my research about illustration process, design and empathy and how designers cope with anxiety.

Text: “I may spend longer on a project, over-analyzing and reworking elements. I lie awake sometimes wondering… Have I understood the brief? Do my designs make sense? Is it drawn well? Is it any damn good? Will I get another job? Should I give up!?” (link below)
