“I draw badass girls/women I observe in magazines or who I’ve met or as passersby. Black ink on white paper is how I start then I go in and use Photoshop to finalize my drawings. Sometimes I put these girls I draw onto walls and add color using spray paint.”

(Auction Item 1: 20x30 digital print on silk)
(Auction Item 2: 28x42 digital print on washable polyester)

Sharon has authored books, articles, and video courses on digital art techniques and hosts a “Digital Art Studio” series for the online digital art magazine, creativepro.com.

Sharon has generously offered three versions of this image to Drawing the Connections.
