Carly Jean Andrews is an illustrator and artist based in Brooklyn, New York. We’ve been friends for a decade now, and I’ve watched her drawings and artwork evolve and grow throughout that time.
When I look at someone’s art, I usually judge what’s in front of me, the skill involved in making a specific piece, or the concepts and ideas behind it. I sometimes forget about the thousands of drawings, sketchbook pages, and hours spent defining an original style and point of view. Having followed Carly’s work for the past ten years, I see that time and commitment in everything she does. She draws more than anyone I know, and it’s evident in her confident linework, unique portraits and exploration of color and figure. These are some of her most recent drawings, and they remind me how your art can change and progress through years of constant practice. I look forward to seeing how this work continues to evolve over time.
