work in progress

I really didn't like my scanner self-portrait, so when we got a new assignment to try another portrait but in a different style, I was really excited.  I decided to illustrate my friend Preethi.  It's a work in progress but I really like how it's turning out.  I'm trying to be really painterly because thats a style i gravitate towards in other people's art.

drawing with text

I really enjoyed drawing with text.  The limited brush palate forced me to be more creative and experiment.  I love writing and art, so getting to mix the two is really awesome.  It was interesting to look at the shapes of letters (instead of the letters themselves) and alter them in order to make something artistic.
