Charcoal and pencil


This series of charcoal and pencil illustrations
 features downward-glancing portraits—a familiar 
sight in today’s phone-focused society. Charcoal adds 
a loose, ethereal feel, while pencil brings detail and realism. Though different in style, the two mediums work together to create a cohesive and dynamic set.

Created for a campaign on social media’s impact 
on well-being, the soft strokes evoke a quiet sense 
of loneliness, highlighting the isolation our phones can create. With no phones shown, the lowered heads and 
eyes say it all—capturing the world we now live in.
