Figure Portrait
Figure Portrait is a series of portrait illustrations created for a public exhibition. The series brings together faces from different eras and public personas, inviting reflection on life and time. Each portrait tells a separate story, and together the portraits describe a shared human experience. The illustrations began as hand-drawn sketches, which were then digitized with Procreate. Shading, layering and color blending were used to render textures and a wide range of emotions. The digital files can be adjusted to any size.
