i wanted to focus on Detachment with yourself and not others but you can also be detached from your environment. It can be associated as a symptom for many other disorders. I wanted to create a piece where a piece of someone head us being piece by piece. I want to include charcoal and a […]

For my new idea, I really want to look into detachment with yourself. Everyone always seems to talk about detachment with other, but not many people can create a self image when feeling detached with yourself.

Throughout all my pieces, I always try to add chaos because most people feel very pressured with everything that is going on when they have a mental illness or when they are feeling a certain emotion; however,  I also want to give a positive side to some of my pieces.I don’t want all of them […]

I tried tone expressive in my technique and line works.  I learned that through my line works, I shouldn’t just keep it thin, but I should add more weight and make them thicker. I will also try to add more […]

this piece is the completed version of my body dysmorphia piece. i wanted to keep this one a bit more simple and less exaggerated, like most of my past pieces. i wanted to explore different body’s and different poses that can help show different parts people could be insecure about. i wanted the color theme […]

this sketchbook assignment is focused on schizophrenia. I wanted it to be a bit different from my usual pieces and wanted it to be a bit more chaotic, but in a different sense. i normally use line work to evoke a chaotic sense; however, in this piece i wanted to show it through my layering […]
