My Art

My Artistic Process

     I start my drawing process with a simple pencil sketch. Sometimes the sketches start out as simple doodles in my class notebooks, other times I'm able to just drop it right onto the page without another thought.
     Either way, my sketches go through multiple stages of refinement. Each iteration I add more details, clean up the lines, and start thinking about what colors I want.
     Then comes the fun part of inking. Once I put the ink onto the page, there's no going back. Like with the base sketch, I go through with the pen multiple times to refine the thickness of each stroke and to perfect the detail.
     If I decide to color a piece, I start with a dusting of the lightest colors before I deepen the shadows. This is the same regardless of if I do colored pencils or paint. Once I finish coloring, I redo the ink.
