Illustration has always been my first creative love, it was the outlet where my imagination first took flight. It's where I learned to shape my ideas and bring them to life with each stroke of the pencil. Over time, I've began to use illustration as a foundation for concept art in my motion pieces. Yet, there's a special joy in returning to the basics—sitting down with just a pencil and paper, where the simplicity of the process allows for pure, unfiltered expression.
