PIZZA RAT

My art process for this piece involves sketching ideas and playing with composition in my sketchbook. Oh, trying to make the character look normal within its habitat, but I'll being too scary or too friendly like a Pokémon. Then finding reference photos of city scavengers, transferring the sketch onto an illustration board prepped with gesso, and painting with gouache to add depth and detail. The end result is a captivating artwork that brings my vision to life.

Pizza Rat, gouache, 12" x 16", $1000
