To REALLY show some improvement, here’s a progression of self-portraits

Senior year paintings 2018/2019

And this was a piece I painted in watercolor in B/W then colored and compiled finished digitally. Never again 💀 2018/2019

I’d change things now, but it still makes me so happy unlike those dud pieces before.

But the more I painted traditionally, the better I got digitally! Although there was many a deleted file and many a tear. 1st from photo, 2nd from life.

Same semester 😅

The first image was my final for a class my very first college semester. I really REALLY tried. But I had no clue what I was doing in PS, let alone painting. The later images were from the next semester. Traditional helps my brain click 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’d been really really struggling in my illustration courses because digital did not come easily to me (still doesn’t really) + I’d gotten in I’m my head that it was what I was ‘supposed’ to do. These pieces were so unpleasant to do + make me feel gross (2016)
