How I Got Into Digital Art.

My distinct art style started in 2020 on my @sitarahsketches (now @sitarahstudios) instagram and from there, I kept going with it. I have always been interested in linework and the bold use of color so my style started with linework and color blocking.

The figures and people in all of my older drawings have no facial features except for eyebrows and facial hair. I think this happened due to a few different reasons but to be honest, the main reason was that I was not so great at drawing facial features, it was super difficult! My account was based on drawing the likeness of people through their forms of expression and other individual personal choices like accessories, clothing, and hairstyles.

Now my style has progressed, and I have improved my drawing skills. I now draw in a more realistic manner while still keeping elements of linework and color blocking a priority. This newer style started with a self portrait I made titled “She’s Golden”. The piece won a Massachusetts Regional Gold Key in the 2022 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards under the Digital Art Category.
