Art & processOriginal studio work
Drawing the phoenix for a small screen
A practical studio notebook about shape, light, material and captioning—built from sources, then redrawn as new work.
Anatomy of an emblem
Make the reading order visible
The central figure identifies the subject. The wings establish direction. A circular frame steadies the silhouette. Border ornament remains abstract and newly designed. Material, contrast and light make the layers coherent.

Production notes
From research to export
Each stage creates a record the next stage can check.
- 01
Research
Choose a specific object record, a primary text and one formal question.
- 02
Sketch
Draw multiple silhouettes without tracing a protected character or museum object.
- 03
Shape Design
Simplify the head, wing rhythm and tail until the bird reads at phone scale.
- 04
Color Palette
Build value contrast first, then add copper, burgundy and one hot accent.
- 05
Lighting
Select one light direction and let every surface respond consistently.
- 06
Mobile Preview
Test narrow crops, short captions and a reduced-resolution silhouette.
- 07
Final Export
Create efficient raster assets, descriptive alternative text and a credit line.
