Uploaded January 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
I've been looking through my old artwork and found a box full of personal projects. Applying what I learned to projects that excited me helped make the knowledge stick. Some of the work is a bit weird as I was still finding my path as an artist. I experimented with different techniques, like blending stumps and gouache, and studied anatomy and composition. Reflecting on these pieces, I realize how important they were in my journey, and it's made me want to create more and keep exploring new methods.
Kickstarter: I’m trying to publish 2 new art books in 2025 and need your help. Check out the campaign at proko.com/kickstarter
