Portraits and stippling art.
Recently I’ve been really loving stippling art and trying out new mediums. This page is where drawing experiments, custom portrait ideas, and sketchbook work can all live together.
I’m experimenting with all kinds of art, trying new mediums, and keeping space open for commission pieces people can ask me about.
The work so far, by technique.
Everything here is hand-drawn. Each group follows one way of working, from bold ink to patient graphite to color experiments.
Bold blacks and tiny dots. These are the high-contrast pieces: marker silhouettes of musicians I love and stippling work built up one dot at a time.
The patient pieces. Faces, animals, and characters in graphite, where most of the time goes into getting the eyes and the soft shading right.
Where the color experiments live: layered petals, iridescent shells, and studies that let the pencil strokes stay visible.
The messy middle. Hands, wings, places, and characters straight out of the sketchbook — practice pages that still feel worth keeping.
A place for what I’m drawing now.
A place to ask about custom pieces
People can reach out about portrait ideas, custom drawings, and pieces that need a little more back-and-forth.
Stippling, texture, and trying new mediums
This page can show what I’m learning right now, not just the pieces that already feel finished.
Room for the messy middle too
Portraits, experiments, half-ideas, and whatever medium I end up wanting to try next all belong here.
Drawing stays at the heart of the site because it keeps the work personal.
Even when the rest of the site moves into music, reading, or social clips, this page keeps a record of what Kayla is practicing, testing, and making by hand.
