Graduation Portfolio Part 2- New Portfolio Design. In this assignment, I wanted to focus on the bookworms out there. I want to further project more quirky, silly monsters and seeing a difference in everyone. No matter the size, color or shape of a being, we all have our struggles and our strengths. This has been a sketchbook piece for a long time and I’m glad my instructor loved the idea. This is my final year with @rmcad !!! #dkerperarts #rmcad #rmcadwip #rmcadstudent #rmcadillustration #rmcadpsa #illustration #procreate #procreateart #fantasyart #fantasy #monsters #bookworm #nerdlife #booknerd #skulls #poetry #monsterart #comicart #comic #art #artstudent #artcollege (at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNys3ITAE_t/?igshid=wmept5jmzkr4

Graduation Portfolio Part 1 - New Portfolio Design. In this assignment, I wanted to circle around my biggest topic, bullying and self love awareness. I want to further project more quirky, silly monsters and seeing a difference in everyone. No matter the size, color or shape of a being, we all have our struggles and our strengths. My major goal is to bring more awareness to bullying and tear it down by showing the monsters in everyone. Scared or brave, friendly or mean. This is my final year with @rmcad !!! #dkerperarts #rmcad #rmcadwip #rmcadstudent #rmcadillustration #rmcadpsa #illustration #procreate #procreateart #fantasyart #fantasy #monsters #monsterart #comicart #comic #art #artstudent #artcollege (at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLk_T-bg4_D/?igshid=jdzvwosog0n9

Life Painting II - Female Figure in acrylic. I wanted to use a reference photo (forgive me as I don’t know who to credit) that was in the style of “hello dolly” and have been holding on to this photo of #britneyspears . This was just a 3 hour study but really seeing my focus. I still see this as potential work to finish but for now, I’m happy. @rmcad #dkerperarts #rmcad #rmcadwip #rmcadsketchaday #sketchbook #artist #artstudent #artcollege #illustration #realism #lifedrawing #model #acrylic #acrylicpainting #americana https://www.instagram.com/p/CIM3KPEgOAZ/?igshid=1wmfzlnm1wyd5

With a few hours left.. HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY! With fall here and sweater weather coming, it’s time to get your freshly brewed pumpkin spice coffee and a cozy sweater. Here is a concept I’ve had for years but never sat down to really clean it up. To all my Harry Potter fans, I acknowledge you. #dkerperarts #artist #art #instaart #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #procreate #applepencil #procreateart #illustration #illustrator #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration #harrypotter #harrypotterfanart #pumpkinspice #nationalcoffeeday @procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CFv0a0-AGJ6/?igshid=pc9bh653a9iu

Illustration Marketing - Self Portrait and Logo design. In this assignment, I recreate my logo and icon concept. The character had to fit my personality and what I wanted my audience to get from me. I want to further project more mystery, monsters and seeing a difference in everyone. My major goal is to bring more awareness to bullying and tear it down by showing the monsters in everyone. Scared or brave, friendly or mean.

Hey everyone. With a summer break from classes, I was able to get out on a hike and enjoy nature. Get away from politics, chaos, and anger. Get away from signals for any social media to reach me and just enjoy the wilderness. In my hike, I was able to see a black bear, young but almost adult, just roaming the area. No tension or stress, just roaming around. I fell in love and starting taking photos when I could. Though the photos weren’t great, I looked up “black bear cub” and just started sketching. Studying character designs and life sketch. These are things I definitely encourage my fellow art friends and acquaintances... get away from the social media and television sets, and find nature. With that, you’ll find inspiration. #art #artist #dkerperarts #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #sketch #sketchoftheday #bear #sequioanationalforest #blackbears #bearcub #animalstudy #animalanatomy #characterdesign #characterillustration #procreate #procreateart #rmcadwip #rmcadpsa #rmcadstudent @procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaaBeKAVv1/?igshid=u8orf5d0ixbz

Digital Illustration II - Fantasy Card (elf and dwarf theme). [FINAL] In this assignment, we were given a dialog and asked to show in our our way of presenting this story. The characters start as an elf and dwarf in terms of “Lord of the Rings” style. I found it funny as I’m a dwarf and I could finally use my body proportions for one of the characters. My teacher challenged me to go into “bug” view in order to have a more dramatic visual. I’m pretty proud of this. This is my final year with @rmcad !!! #dkerperarts #rmcad #rmcadwip #rmcadstudent #rmcadillustration #rmcadpsa #illustration #procreate #procreateart #fantasyart #fantasy #elf #dwarf #comicart #comic #art #artstudent #artcollege (at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEP1n2lAACI/?igshid=4hwlf8b54gqp

Digital Illustration II - character concept final. In this assignment, we were given a concept idea and asked to show in our our way of presenting this character. I choice the topic of “volcano fairy” and incorporated the idea of a rainforest. I played around with @procreate tools but I think I will make it flat on my own terms. This is my final year with @rmcad !!! #dkerperarts #rmcad #rmcadwip #rmcadstudent #rmcadillustration #rmcadpsa #illustration #procreate #procreateart #fantasyart #fantasy #volcano #rainforest #volcanofairy #comicart #comic #art #artstudent #artcollege (at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CENqGwig-_X/?igshid=fhm28w6ylltq

Quick sketch on a free hour. Running has been a great hobby and self soothe for me during these times. While balancing school, work and putting a portfolio together, it’s been hectic during it all. Running and giving myself the challenge with Run Disney and other workout apps have helped build a stronger me mentally and physically. Though body image has been a massive struggle, lately I’ve been trying to focus on my mind first. Give yourself a challenge and compete against yourself. You’re the only one holding yourself back. #quicksketch #artist #art #characterdesign #characterart #illustration #illustrationartists #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #cartoonart #running #runningismytherapy #dkerperarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDdoUVA87z/?igshid=2qkvuhnsw1m7
