Freehand illustration has been my usual mode, however I value the possiblities provided by digital enhancement and do not hesitate to meet the specifications desired by my clients.
With further exploration, I plan to merge layers of freehand and watercolors with digital elements to create works that are uniquely my own.

Detail
I have scanned an inked sketch, used Image Trace tool, and converted the color mode to CMYK to begin to play with digital color. Furthermore, converted the PDF files to a JPG.
While I have no prior experience with digital formatting, I am highly motivated to master new tools and techniques quickly.
Digital Illustration
For the purpose of expanding my body of experience, you can see below that I have begun to digitally convert some drawings through the use of Adobe Illustrator. I typically illustrate by hand with a favorite black ink. When adding color, I prefer the effects of colored pencils and watercolor pencils. You can find evidence of this on my "Mandalas" page.
