Here are a few of my favorite pieces, brought to life with various art tools.
Women! Women! Women!
What started as a fun doodle became a showcase of feminine beauty. This piece is a 'drawing collage' inspired by different images I found on Pinterest, each with captivating facial expressions that combine mystery and drama. With vibrant colors and sparkles, the story is open for viewers interpretation.
Women! Women! Women! by Luz, Black ink, Water Color Markers, White Ink, & Colored Pencils on Drawing Paper, 2023. Gabbriette
This drawing is another Pinterest-inspired picture; Gabbriette is an IMG model and an ex-musician. I liked the way she looked and the expression on her face in this picture. I’ve never drawn a woman with her vibe before, so this was different for me. I also made the drawing longer than the actual picture and gave her black gloves.

This was something different for me to try to draw, another pin I found on Pinterest. The original picture is a watercolor painting; mine is made with markers and colored pencils. I liked the delicacy of the flowers and the color scheme of the painting; since this is something I don’t usually draw, I went ahead and tried doing my own version of it.

During an art class, one of the assignments was to draw something assigned by a classmate. I was told to draw a classical painting as a self-portrait. I like the mystery of the painting by Johannes Vermeer, Girl With the Pearl Earring, so I drew myself as her. This piece is important to me as it is one of the first self-portraits I did of myself.

This drawing was originally a sketch I abandoned for years; while going through my sketchbook in 2020, I decided to give her life. I like angels, I like space, and the idea of what is out there, so my concept for this drawing is “space angels”.
