* Created by first drawing the outlines on paper then uploading that drawing into Photoshop and drawing over that. 

* All created in the Procreate App on an iPad. Focus of the piece was style, abstraction and color to create a unique character.

* First, the shadow of my head and neck region was traced onto a canvas. The inside of the head was created with marker, most likely Sharpie, with the outside of the head painted green.

*A little project to ensure myself that I haven't forgotten the age old tool of colored pencils. While not perfect, It conveys the sense of mythological wonder that I wanted. Created with pencils, pen, and colored pencils. 

*A sketch of a path winding through Central Park. More of an exercise in being able it convey a sense of depth.

* Created in Photoshop. Bright colors such as red, orange and yellow are associated with fire were and happen to be colors that a Japanese fighting Fish can be. The aim was creating a stylized transition of the flames as they morph into a fish. Careful uses of lighting effects were used to evoke the warmth of a fire. 

*A detailed and multi-perspective chart of the bones in the foot and how they connect to each other I created to help with anatomical drawings of the foot.
