What inspires your creativity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah, thank you so much!! I feel as if most of my creativity stems from everyday life around me. I get inspired anywhere, and I mean anywhere! I will be out to eat at a restaurant and love the font of the menus, take a pic, and try and draw the font by hand later (I am a complete lettering nerd, I know!!) Or love the way certain colors on buildings go together. I always try to view the world around me with a creative eye and it makes life even more magical. There really is so much beauty everywhere! That being said, I make sure to have my iPad pro with me at all times so that I can sketch an idea out or create a new color palette on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg\" alt=\"Real Talk with Lilly Cepull\" class=\"wp-image-34315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=1536,1536 1536w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=1280,1280 1280w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/untitled_artwork-36.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite media to create with? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So my old self would respond with just the good ole pen and paper combo. But my new high tech self would have to say any digital media. I got my iPad pro this past March and it quickly changed the game for me. Although I still recommend to all letterers, and artists in general, that paper and pen (most people would say pencil but I really have the \u201cjust go for it\u201d mentality,) is the best way to start. But eventually lugging around pens, sketchbooks, paints, and all the things to every local coffee shop got old. My iPad really allows me to not strain my arm muscles carrying so many supplies and makes creating digital artwork for clients one thousand times easier. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I still do plenty of work on paper, chalkboards, canvases, jackets, etc. but digital work is my jam at the moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What made you want to join&nbsp;this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/featured-aeriereal\/aerie\/s-cms\/6890055?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_180904_06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AerieREAL<\/a>&nbsp;bra photoshoot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OMG a million things! I have adored Aerie for as long as I can remember. But the main reason why is because growing up I never really saw petite gals modeling. Or REAL gals for that matter. Pictures were always retouched and made picture perfect. I would look at them and be so upset that I was short or that my skin broke out on the daily. I often felt that I was alone and that no other girls struggled with the problems I did. Well, news flash- we are all in this together!! So being a part of this campaign meant the absolute world to me. I want all girls to realize that you are an absolute babe just the way you are! No retouching necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What makes you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/featured-aeriereal\/aerie\/s-cms\/6890055?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_180904_06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AerieREAL<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/featured-aeriereal\/aerie\/s-cms\/6890055?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_180904_06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AerieREAL<\/a> because I am not afraid to accept myself exactly the way I am. I realize it is so challenging to be a girl nowadays. Everywhere we look we see retouched photos of societies example of the \u201cperfect woman\u201d and we instantly compare ourselves. The never ending cycle of comparing your body or life to models on billboards, girls on Instagram, or the random gals at the grocery store is exhausting. I have been there and done that. But you have to realize that your \u201cflaws\u201d make you, YOU! They tell your story and represent all you\u2019ve been through and await all that is left to come. All of this being said, it is so important to be yourself and never dare apologize for it. Wear no makeup for the Instagram picture- you\u2019re so dang beautiful without it. Sing and dance as much as you want- life is more fun that way. Wear your sweatpants out to go get tacos- because guess what? Ya look GOOD! So I am #AerieREAL because I am unapologetically myself no matter the time or place. There is only one me and there is only one you. So let\u2019s show the world who we REALLY are by keeping it real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about our newest #AerieREAL photo shoot?
