A look at my workspace when working in Sketch3.

Here is a mockup of a SnapChat redesign I was working on a little while back. I decided to open it up and show the world what my work looks like laid out in Sketch. I use mostly Sketch and Adobe Illustrator for UI/UX design.

A bit compressed since it was such a large file, but here is a poster I created last semester for a mockup lecture for my GD2 class.

Praciticing with copics.

I’ve been trying to get better with using copic markers - to learn the various techniques, tips, etc. I think I’m getting the hang of them! 

Enjoy!

A late Ramadan Mubarak to all my muslim friends, family, and followers!

Here’s something I whipped up really quickly as an emergency post on Facebook :P The picture is off of google and I threw some text and knocked out the white-space behind the arabic. Have a wonderful Ramadan!

Eyeglasses Package Design/Rebranding

So this is something that I was working on for the past week for my final as well as something I want to submit as part of my portfolio for a review I will be having for a job. I’m really happy with how it came out, there are just little things here and there that bother me but I won’t get into it. Everything was created myself including the boxes and I didn’t think I would have as much fun as I did! Now to give my hands and eyes some rest for the rest of winter.

enjoy.

Package design.

Something quick I'm creating for class. I like the floral pattern but not so much the background color. We'll see where this goes.

Creation of "Contact Light".

Here's a quick 15 second video of me creating that watercolor painting I posted a bit earlier.

self-portrait x5

This was done for a project for a class I was taking. The basic idea was how simple lines can add onto each other to create something finished and detailed from something as simple as a plain line. I'm not the biggest fan of drawing portraits, but I am very happy with how this came out.

Another quick 20 minute drawing/painting I did a while back to try out new watercolor paper as well as some new watercolors. I love cherry blossoms and I thought why not create something simple but appealing to the eye. 

enjoy.

@elfandiary on instagram is undoubtedly my favorite artist and I absolutely adore his work. This is just something I did referencing a piece of his just to practice layering and shading. I can always use improvement in the lips and nose so this was great practice.

"Contact Light"

I decided to try out two quick watercolor paintings of space. I know they're very cliche but for practice and to test out new watercolors, they were a blast to make!

enjoy.
