Early Art: 1996-2004

Early Art: 1996-2004

Practice makes better, not perfect. Here is some of my early art, mostly from a story I worked on as a teenager called "Universe of Jewels." Most of these are pencil and colored pencil drawings, though I began experimenting with digital coloring around 2001. Some of these are colored with Copic Sketch markers, which I used a lot in the early 2000s, too. Viewing this gallery will let you see my development as an artist. Enjoy!
