Mixed media illustrator based in Hanoi
Inktober is a famous drawing challenge to explore how your own style with ink and in 2023 I decided to join as a fun side project. Though I ended at #20, the project took me further than I thought.
I got to express many of my thoughts and apply many new knowledge (composition, shading, value) to these illustrations.
Below are the progress for 2 illustrations.
Painting traditionally (or trying to mimic traditional painting on digital tools) always excites me, I can’t control what will happen. Mixing color in a palette creates harmony in the painting that can’t be achieved in digital painting.
In these paintings below, I embraced on how the light reaches different surfaces in a wide range of situation.
I spent lots of time painting and working in cafes. I enjoy finding and keeping a favorite place for quiet alone time as well as exploring new gems in my city.
Still life studies are also part of learning about how color and light works. In these studies, I learned about the smallest reaction between different surfaces and objects.
I tried to set up objects myself using things in my home, but sometimes I do use images as references.
This is a personal challenge to design a set for the book The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie.
