Selected digital art
Character drawings and Photoshop studies explore how pose, silhouette, and color guide the eye.
Digital artist
Photoshop composite
Beauty Floats
Clara layered a portrait with mountains and clouds in Photoshop. The silhouette reads first. Inside it, light and terrain give the face its shape.
A closer look
Character and gesture.
Two pencil studies in staging and composition.
Two-figure staging
The hands meet in the center while the figures lean apart. The pose gives the exchange a clear focal point with a few lines.
Ensemble composition
The group sits along a diagonal. Overlapping heads and different angles let each figure read inside a tight frame.
Archival color study
A Dance in Color
Color draws the eye to the costume. The surrounding architecture stays subdued, keeping the figure at the center of attention.
A closer look
Drawing in motion.
Two silent loops focused on expression and body mechanics.
Expression test
Blinks and a widening grin change the expression while the head stays in place.
Walk cycle
The arms swing opposite the legs. The drawing tracks the shift of weight as each foot takes the ground.
