Expressive Studies
These expressive studies serve as a space for exploration and experimentation within my sketchbooks. By working with a wider range of colors, I study how different color combinations interact and complement one another, allowing me to develop a more intuitive understanding of color relationships. Through repeated practice, I explore a variety of subjects, including full figures, facial expressions, hands, and overall composition, using each study as an opportunity to refine observation and visual decision-making.
I approach each sketchbook page as a complete canvas, carefully considering how to fill the space with intention rather than treating it as a collection of isolated sketches. To challenge myself, I experiment with different materials and compositional approaches on every page, working with colored pencils, pens, markers, and graphite. This process-oriented practice emphasizes curiosity and flexibility, allowing ideas to develop organically while informing both my illustration and design work.
