A drawing of a teen girl with curly brown hair and medium-dark skin. One eye is dark brown, the other bright copper. She crosses her arms and glares at the viewer.

Genevieve

Digital art, 2018-2023

Genevieve comes from a short story I read in high school. She was described so vividly, I had to draw her. I spent a long time looking through reference images (and creating a few) to get her eyes, hair, and stance just right. This research influenced the way I draw eyes and hair today. Genevieve’s evolution shows my evolution as an artist, and I believe neither of us has reached her final form.

The process
