People always say, “Wow, is that really colored pencil? They look like photographs.” I fell in love with the challenge of photorealism. It’s like magic, making things look real on paper. I visualize the finished drawing, taking photos in my studio. Capturing the way the light plays with the angles and surfaces I aim for a unique point of view. Here’s what’s consistent about my work: saturated color, interesting composition and photorealism.
