Glowing Sun Child

This digital mixed media piece really elevated my understanding of many of the blending features that digital art offers. Contrary to media arts, the attention to Grey values, inverted values and artificial light are not often used, whereas in digital art it is arguably more prominent than natural or traditional lighting. This understanding I think […]

Tattoo Design

This line drawing was made digitally originally as a reference for a set of tattoos. I spent a lot of time focusing on balance and composition, which are some of the things I learned while in the ACAM program at my high school. I hadn’t originally intended to include it in my university portfolio, but […]

African Sun

While experimenting with light I created this based on a reference photo from pinterest. The warm light bouncing off the subject’s face was so captivating to me, as were the proportions in the subject’s features. With much of the digital art world being overwhelmingly white and female, I have often found myself fascinated by the […]

The Colours of Women

This digital painting was part of a study I did that experimented with greyscale colour palettes versus traditional colour palettes. While painting, I didn’t know what the colours I was selecting from the palette were, just their grayscale values. Looking at it now, it captures the beauty of the woman and the vibrance of the […]

Blues and Rain

This painting was a study using a monochrome palette and also used a reference from the internet. My biggest challenge while making this digital painting was capturing light and shadow without being able to differ from my hue. Many of my paintings in this portfolio follow this theme of learning more about light, shadow, grayscales […]

Dazed

This illustration was one of the first I made using a pressure sensitive digital pencil and it taught me a lot about transparency and line weight in a composition. It was honestly so fun being able to play with pressure in my digital arts because for 4 or 5 years prior I had been working […]

Man in Graphite

This sketch was done based on a reference from Pinterest, and was an experiment with using pencil on off-white paper, something I have never done. It is a digital piece, but I used only traditional techniques and textures that would be found in traditional art. In making this piece I learned a lot about the […]

Apples Shape Study

This painting was done as a study into colour matching and using different techniques to capture the shape of a 3D object. The digital piece includes both the reference and the painting and it shows my skills and accuracy in visual reconstruction of an image. This study was fun to do because I got to […]

BIPOC Tribute

This was one of my first paintings of a coloured woman and, to use the words of my mom, “she’s very glow-y”. I love the way I was able to capture her beauty with a simplistic yet effective style of painting; in fact, it is this painting and its success that encouraged me to continue […]

Doge Coin NFT

This digital painting was done to honour the success that the cryptocurrency “DogeCoin” saw during the pandemic. It features the mascot of the crypto in front of our solar system. This painting was actually meant to be a commissioned piece, as a gift to someone who is no longer part of my life. This project […]
