When thinking of this project, I wanted to really put myself in my work. I struggled in how to do so and what to do, but I had an idea to combine my main medium, digital painting, and the new medium, photography.

Digital Painting has become a big part of my world and it’s one of the main ways I express myself. Usually, I will use references to ensure I am drawing everything correctly (in terms of angles, proportion, anatomy, movement, etc.). It’s almost always a photograph, which then brought me to how I develop rough sketches for my work from photographs and, now, I have a new way of creating art (and references( for myself.

I chose important figures in my life who have only aided me through the years (excluding my father who worked tirelessly and could not make it to the photo session). This is how I see the world as a digital artist.
