Alley Rose, a stunning piece drawn by Carlmont High School junior Alaina Yung, is based on the song “Alley Rose” by Conan Gray. The lyrics of this song portray a solemn story, which is mirrored in Yung’s piece through darker and a muted background. The background also draws attention to the subject of the artwork. Yung stated that she created this piece to practice her illumination and lighting, something that is masterfully shown in Alley Rose. Overall, this piece emphasizes the use of lighting to set the mood and reveals how a true artist takes every chance they can to improve upon their technique.
