This black-and-white illustration was an exercise in simplifying a subject while keeping its personality. I focused on expressive line work and the golfer's pose instead of adding a lot of detail. Working without color made me pay more attention to contrast and composition, and it helped me realize that a simple drawing can still feel dynamic. This illustration later became the starting point for my poster "Shootin' Green."
This digital illustration depicts four children whose tired expressions, guarded postures, and worn clothing suggest that they have grown up around difficult circumstances. Standing closely together, they appear vulnerable but resilient, carrying a seriousness that feels beyond their age.
