Thought Process: I wanted to draw a moment in someone’s life. A lot of thoughts came to my mind like… sitting on the toilet, or getting out of bed. I ultimately ended with someone sitting in a tub because it was really cold when I was drawing this and a hot tub seemed like a …
Thought Process: Another situation that I wanted to draw. I mainly took this from something in a magazine for maybe Vogue… I wish I remembered so that I can properly give credit. I made the subject so that it looked like they just wore whatever in a rush to pick up the food they had …
Thought Process: With the prior two iterations complete, I wanted to see how many colors I can use in a portrait. In the end, it just looks muddy. To remedy the muddy colors, I used a vibrant red in the hair in hopes to fix the fact that there didn’t seem like a focal point …
Thought Process: While painting it was interesting to realize colors that I tended to use. These usually being reds and blues. Turns out I don’t like to use green very much.

Thought Process: Hoping to have the frozen log direct towards the bright spot of the picture in the upper right. The eyes eventually making it’s way to the rest of the picture. The smooth texture of the ice contrasting the rough rocky surface of the mountains is nice. Personal Thoughts: I just remember struggling to …
Thought Process: Your eye should probably go directly to the brightest spot in the frame. In this case the sun illuminating the basilica from behind. Your eye will probably travel downwards to the rest of the architecture to the left and right as you can see the stone streets lit up by the ambient light …
Thought Process: If you google Budapest and search for Fisherman’s Bastian, you’ll likely come across a picture with a very similar composition. So nothing original.
