An improved view from my kitchen window. Working on stylization today.

Final submission

Enjoyed working on this challenge and learned loads of new skills.

I had fun with this commission, to come up with a new age organic dwelling with a fishing theme. This one (1 of 2) wasn’t used, so here it is for review. Hope you like it.

This piece is inspired by my childhood in Jordan, and it’s a part of a graphic novel project I’m planning to do.

From rough idea with graphite over a rough digital ink blockout and to final image. The process in my head has a lot of loops sometimes.

This is my first time painting anything with a Pokémon. As I didn't make the cut to be part of a game pitch, I decided later to do the task on my own time. It was a good practice for sure; I hadn't used filters for a long time.

This is my version of a commissioned artwork. I just reduced the heavy reference to crypto art culture - bored apes and whatever bears.

It was a lot of fun working on this one, as I had total freedom throughout the process (which took 3 days).

Sketching the thumbnails and visualizing the concepts, props and characters (i.e. visual development) is my favorite part of the process. During that phase, my client and I agreed on the direction, the style, and the level of playfulness they're willing to accept. In the museum, I put a Picasso, a prehistoric Instagram post, and a nonsensical work of modern art!

The composition consists of a single-point perspective with strong verticals and design elements that point the eye to the focal point. The lighting in the background also serves a similar purpose.

As for painting, I used a limited blue light palette with hints of warm colors here and there to break up the coldness. To me, this piece should have been a bit darker, but I increased the brightness to satisfy my children's requests 🙂

A small project, developed from a finger painting in the subway. Scroll left for close ups, full painting, color key, value sketch, sketches. You can probably easily guess, which one the fingerpainting is haha.

2 artworks I’ve been working on for a client as interaction Ona theme.
