Studies and Classes

This collection features work I created through illustration and design classes, as well as through independent practice. I took the online course Sebingkisah with milkhatf and followed Marc Brunet’s guided study on YouTube.

Explore Your Character

For this class project, I created an expression sheet showing nine facial expressions for an original character. I then developed one of my character concepts into a full-body illustration, gave the character a name, and drew them in a pose that reflected their personality. I combined cartoon stylization with semi-realistic details and used soft shading to give the character depth.

Colour Class

For this color class assignment, I created an illustration from a DTIYS (Draw This in Your Style) challenge and chose my own color palette. I used a complementary red and green color scheme and added lighting effects with a textured brush to give the illustration depth and texture.

Atmosphere and Embience

Building on the previous color class, this assignment explored how color and lighting create different moods and atmospheres. I created two versions of the same scene, one set in bright daylight and the other at night.

Landscape Study

I created this landscape study while following a tutorial by digital illustrator Marc Brunet. Through this exercise, I learned to illustrate a simple landscape using a combination of textured and standard brushes.
