Why I was inspired to draw this portrait drawing. #art #digitalart #procreate #portraitpainting

When I saw this reference photo I was really captivated by the sitters subtle expression and the lighting. They aren’t squinting as if looking towards a harsh light instead they look a bit questioning or skeptical or maybe optimistic. I loved the way the warm glow moved across the person’s face and lit up their eyes. I wanted to draw attention there by using several bright colors in the eyes and make the thing they’re looking towards to be one of the main subjects of the piece even though it’s not rendered or in the frame of the picture.

My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other.
The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us.
Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people.
These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art.
