This painting was a self implemented test of my skills working with oil paint in portraiture. I had done some smaller oil portraits in a more painterly style but wanted to try my hand at a more photo realistic approach. And while this still has far to go to truly be photo realistic I’m happy with the progress I’ve made in this medium and look forward to more progress in the future.

Inspired by my recent cherry themed birthday festivities, this portrait comes mostly from my imagination. This piece did not end up being what I had initially envisioned though I like this end result much more. I wanted to focus on brush strokes more than realism and in general, I wanted this to be a fun painting. I accomplished this by not blending any of the colors and using basic imagery to create recognizable motifs throughout the piece. With a solid black outline and some extra details, this cherry girl truly came to life.

Bad Habits is inspired by the question “what bad habits would you like to break?”, this piece explores my own personal habit of ripping at my fingernails. I wanted this piece to be an honest reflection of my imperfections and I settled on this specific subject matter as a way to hold myself accountable for the results. I exaggerated the torn up fingers to represent the constant ripping at my own body and how prominent those small details are to my own eyes. Sometimes for change to occur, you must first see the problem for what it is.

Based on a photo of myself, I drew a digital self portrait with the program Krita. I used faded lines to create a loose background and solid block colors to made the figure stand out.

A bit of a fun portrait in which the model was transformed into an elemental. In this case, fire.

My own take on Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown album cover. Instead of a painted black and white silhouette on brick, my model posed in front of a brick wall with lighting on half her face.

Some simple digital portrait practice of Billie Eilish. Inspired by a photograph taken with strong green lights highlighting her face, I tried to capture the same feeling with a nearly monochromatic color scheme.
