Jennifer Healy

Jennifer Healy was born in the United States in 1985. From even the early days she has always loved strange, offbeat, beautiful, and slightly melancholy things. Her love for sketching carried on throughout her high school days. Which is when she took a small class on watercolor. Watercolor is what birthed her passion for mixing colors and how a color can tell a story. In year 2009 she discovered digital painting and her new found passion for the medium. It's been the favored medium for the past years since.

She has used online tutorials and videos to help her learn along the way and then in late 2011 she took a workshop called Becoming a Better Artist. The beginning of 2013 she won a class from The Art Department.

I love Jennifer's way of drawing color pencil drawings is mild but it can convey strong emotions from the characters she drew. She not only do color pencil drawings but also digital drawing. Although you can redraw and adjust the drawings back and forth, it doesn't mean digital drawing is easy to handle. Jennifer Healy has definitely show her remarkable skills in the digital drawing; however, one thing I don't really like about it is sometimes you can see the stroke obviously thus making the whole drawing seems a bit distracted by those lines.

Marjolein Caljouw

Marjolein Caljouw is a full-time illustrator and artist, She has worked on illustrations on books and covers, magazines, CD/covers, sites, headers, games, invitations, wallpaintings, dessins, apps etc. She is well experienced with many different media, for example, oil paintings, water colors, digital drawing,etc.

I think she addressed the feeling in the art pieces very well. The atmosphere that she created in the drawing is mysterious and dream-liked. I really like the way she draw. The figures are drawn delicately, which really attract me.

Akira Beard

Akira Beard is an artist living and working in San Francisco. When not creating in the studio, he often spend time exhibiting artwork and teaching painting/drawing. The medium he used are oil paintings, water color, pencils, pens, and charcoals.
The reason I love this artist is that he uses a variety in his drawings and also has his own style in theme. Now, I'm more enjoying drawings like I did before, especially water color. Although the Akira's works have many different themes and have many beautiful colors, most of them are portraits. But it's alright, I love portraits and the people's facial expressions. :)
