Transitioning into color mediums, Diya explored oil pastel techniques. She practiced perspective, warm vs. cool color balance, and stroke layering through a vivid village landscape scene.
Expression & Media Control section
Adding fun and vibrancy to her repertoire, Diya worked on character illustration. She applied bright color shading to capture expression, vibrant highlights, and precise outlines.
Creative Imagination section.
