Xandra

Artist: Alaina Yung

Xandra, an original character designed by Alaina Yung, a sophomore at Carlmont, comes to life in this piece, a perspective study of hers. Inspired by the creations of other artists, Yung reimagined a character she had designed during quarantine for a novel project she had dedicated herself to. To create this piece, Yung utilized only one brush type during the hours she’d spent developing this work. In her words, “I only use one brush for my art since I believe color theory and anatomy are much more important than what brush one uses.”
