Hi and welcome to my page! My name is Roxanne, and a little over a year ago I graduated and moved to New York. Now I’m trying to explore all my creative hobbies, which include drawing, writing, and most recently, jewelry making, and having some fun along the way. Feel free to explore and comment and help a creative gal pursue her passions! :)Tumblr (3.0; @roxannezaher)http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/<a href="http://www.roxannezaher.carbonmade.com">http://www.roxannezaher.carbonmade.com</a>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/28929704044http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/28929704044Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:51:54 -0400portfolioartworkwebsite<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80eka8Sjb1r3pwo0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80eka8Sjb1r3pwo0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80eka8Sjb1r3pwo0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Normally my technique is to sketch by hand and color digitally, but lately I’ve been experimenting w/ full digital paintings. </p>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/28392664875http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/28392664875Tue, 31 Jul 2012 01:14:32 -0400illustrationartdigital paintingportraitwoman<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9rnlartf1r3pwo0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9rnlartf1r3pwo0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9rnlartf1r3pwo0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9rnlartf1r3pwo0o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9rnlartf1r3pwo0o5_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>I decided to be my own model and test out my increasingly messed up camera which has now been dropped and broken repeatedly (I’m a clutz), as well as my photoshop retouching skills (nothing too major, just the dark circles that seem to be permanently under my eyes) as well as just trying the ‘smoky eye’ look with my make up. Yes, I like to randomly play with make up. It’s fun.</p>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/17477495682http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/17477495682Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:33:00 -0500photographyblack and whitemake upsmoky eyes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys1x4dgIu1r3pwo0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> digital painting<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys1x4dgIu1r3pwo0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> brush pen<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys1x4dgIu1r3pwo0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> brush pen<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys1x4dgIu1r3pwo0o4_500.jpg"/><br/> brush pen<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys1x4dgIu1r3pwo0o5_500.jpg"/><br/> shapes<br/><br/> <p>Random and long overdue post of just stuff I’ve been practicing and playing around with, such as digital painting, lining with a brush pen, and creating illustrations from shapes.</p>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/16926663422http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/16926663422Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:58:10 -0500illustrationdigital artdigital paintingbrush penshapes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys13dIBeq1r3pwo0o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>So it’s been forever since I’ve last posted something, because I started working part-time again and,of course, my ridiculous laziness.

Recently I’ve been exploring other methods of digital painting to get a more realistic look, and I used an old drawing that I’ve already done to practice. I used more traditional painting techniques in the sense of building the colors up, starting broadly then fine-tuning the details. This is just my first try, but I’m happy with the results, especially compared to the old one.</p> <p>Here is a before and after comparison, you can really see the difference.</p>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/11278552785http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/11278552785Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:23:34 -0400illustratonartdigital artdigital paintingpracticecomparisonpocahontasdisneyportraitgirl<a href="http://neptuneandrox.tumblr.com">The Adventures of Neptune and Rox</a>http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/10902501110http://roxannezaher.tumblr.com/post/10902501110Sat, 01 Oct 2011 16:30:12 -0400illustrationartcomicdigital artcatgirlfriends
