    Kalim Fanart (Commission)

    This piece pushed me to the next level by allowing me to experiment with my lighting and masking techniques. Overall, I’m very happy with how this turned out.

    Family Wedding Gathering Portrait (Commission)

    I struggled with this a lot and, admittedly, procrastinated for a long time because I was really scared of messing up the skin tone and the facial structure. I still got up to do it in the end so as not to disappoint the client. I took 1-2 attempts to finish this and I was pretty satisfied with how it turned out in the end.

    Cat Shikishi Commission

    I used ink wash on a shikishi board for this cat commission, but not before testing it on my sketchbook to make sure I don’t make as much mistakes on the final product!
