My practise for serious illustration started around the age of 10 in 2008, and I continue to discover new techniques today. I applied my interest in art towards two degrees: Graphic Design (DCS), and Photography (BFA). Both degrees had various art classes where I learned a lot outside of the core program, particularly illustration, woodworking, and printmaking.

Various Illustrations

Graphite Pencil, Ink, 2008-2015

In reference to digital images found online, my initial practise mostly consisted of graphite photo-realism portraits and reproducing existing art to experiment with other media.
