I like to do a lot of portrait studies in both traditional and digital media. The first image which is titled "Loretta" was a portrait study done on 18" x 24" toned paper using pastel pencils. I started off by taking a bunch of photographs of her with different angles and lighting set ups. Once I've...

In this project, I tried to make realistic portraits in black and white. Painting is somewhat uneasy especially for a self-taught artist like myself. I always wanted to try and paint realistic, but I always procrastinate. My drawing abilities were also quite limited. That morning I woke up and I jus...

This gouache series is a part of my sketchbook. I love to paint after work and over the weekend, and relax my mind by doing so. Recently enough, I've made some little formats, and I'm picking a still-life, or a portrait, and try to interpret it in my own way. This (ever growing) series is what I've ...
