Portfolio

In this portfolio are drawings I have made over the course of two years while attending Claflin University. These images are all digitally drawn, with most of them containing characters from my own story, “Hikaru” (title in development). This story has been a work in progress since I was 12 years old (I am currently 21). I draw my own characters constantly whenever I wish to practice my anatomy. This portfolio, along with the works on the home page, is what I consider my best work over the past two years.

Here are more of my drawings that are favored among myself and my audience (updated 1/2023)…

These are some designs of black women I made in late 2022. I plan to incorporate some of these into illustrated designs for shirts.

Drokl, an antagonist in a separate story. Drawn in mid-late 2022.

This is a sample logo I did for The First Church of the Seventh-Day Adventists. It was a volunteer opportunity, and the first sample I did for the project.

Rose, Roxie and Reef, three more of the main protagonists in my series (2021).

Masato, another protagonist that is added later in my series (2022).
