Egg Study, April 2024 This is a study of eggs I did challenging myself only to use Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Black.

This demonstrates my knowledge of color theory.
Hand Study, September 2024 This is a hand study I did, with reference poses taken from my friend's hand, mine, or from online sources. This demonstrates my skill in hand gesture drawings.
