One reason why I really love this artist is the way she uses color. I also really like how she uses geometric shapes into her artwork-especially in this piece with how she incorporated it into the hair. The blues and greens work nicely into the reds and yellows through some purple tones. Even though the piece of clothing around her neck and shoulders is white I really like how she added value to it with different colors.
The texture of the regular hair pieces contrast nicely with the geometric shapes towards the end of the hair. I like how this gives the realistic portrait an abstract and almost cubist feeling. I really like the effect that is created with the light specks around the portrait. I think that the artist could have added more detail in the eyes but having them dark is a nice effect as well.
This piece might be my favorite by this artist. It's a portrait Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. I'm not really a fan of Doctor who but I love this image. Just like in the previous image I really love how she uses color in this image. She seems to mainly use a pallet of blues and greens and purples that fade into reds and very light yellows.
The geometric shapes are also in this image. However instead of being incorporated into the hair, they're used in the background. Because of this the image isn't as abstract as the other one.The shapes do however, work well with her characteristic light spots and the color scheme- almost making the whole image have a fantastical quality to it.
This piece is another fanart by Zhang. However this time it's of Irene from the Sherlock television series. Unlike her other two pieces this color scheme is very dark with its deep reds and navy blues. The woman in the portrait also has a serious expression that compliments the intense colors.
Although this image is very different from her other two it still shares her characteristic geometric shapes and textures. This time she used the shapes in almost everything- including the skin. Although the shapes are used in the skin the image is much less abstract than the others as well. The dark color scheme is also contrasted by the very light blues that are found in her clothes, eyes, and hair highlights.
