Ari Lezovich

I created this collection of digital illustrations in Procreate on my iPad. Represented in each illustration is a player’s character from my recent Dungeons and Dragons campaign, brought to life by my dear friends and family. I wanted to capture an action pose for each of the characters, and showcase their personality in subtle ways, such as through lighting choices and details in their clothing. Growing up, I felt digital art did not have a place in a gallery. I hope to show today that the love and technique put in to my works with an Apple Pencil are just as worthy as those made with a paintbrush. // 2. Wizard Kitties: These works are digital illustrations made in Procreate on iPad. It is no secret that I love cats- However, I always struggled to figure out how I wanted to draw and stylize them in my own art. These two works are an exploration of the kind of style and whimsy I want to capture with my art.

Amber Gabriel

Amber Gabriel is a Central Texas artist, author, and teacher. Scribbling since she was old enough to hold a crayon, she drew her first (unsanctioned) mural at the age of five, inspired by the eminent painters Glip and Glop of Richard Scarry fame. In order to keep an eye on her, Amber’s artistic mother set up a canvas and easel on the dining room table. Since then, Amber has completed many commissioned artworks, including portraits and large outdoor murals. She prefers using brushes and pencils to a spray can or stylus. Most of her artistic talent is focused on planning incredible lessons for her students, but she still creates when inspiration strikes or she needs to take a break from other activities.
