Summary
Emily is a self-taught Illustrator and Visual Artist.
Outside of being a full time Art student, Emily builds on her realism and likeness proficiency in both the traditional and digital medium.
Through rigorous practice and attention to detail, Emily has developed a sense of stylized realism, which has focus on lighting and mood. Emily uses these elements to put expressive emphasis on the tone of the subject matter she is referencing, in order to convey the overall emotion and situation of the characters and setting.
Emily's skill will be put to use professionally in the Concept Art and Key Art fields once she receives her Bachelors. She hopes to put her skill to use in the Video Game industry.
