Rough Sketch

This is a rough drawing from my reference picture for a piece I'm doing on violence in Syria. The main challenge will be to make her look like an Arabic child since she actually has very fair skin and blonde hair.

Watercolor Portraiture

This is a watercolor portrait I recently finished of Sean Connery as James Bond. Done in watercolor with a little white gouche in areas.

Digital Illustration

This piece Leo Zodiac piece combines traditional and digital media to imitate the the graphic style and technique of the Balbusso Twins. There are nearly 200 Photoshop layers in this piece. Every stroke was done made with black gouche using a dry-brush technique and then scanning it in and separating the strokes onto individual layers for transforming and coloring.
