Original Drawings
Ink and acrylic drawings on paper art board. Archival materials are used in the production, framing and matting.
In The Studio
My focus is on the flow of the lines, the symmetry between components, and the balance of the completed piece.

Kim Drawing
Next, I paint the background colors and apply light shading.

Painting A Crane Face
I still use the same paint tray that I was issued in high school.

Kim's Favorite Paint Tray
Then, the fun part. The drawing really comes to life when I ink in the details.
