WHISPER(2)

New Yorke Valentine's Day ( *NewYorker cover practice )
printed magzine cover; digital illustration,color pencil | 8.5*11inch  

For this Valentine's Day cover of The New Yorker, I wanted to portray love's gentle touch—the kind that writes unseen sonnets on our skin. With each pastel stroke, I try to capture a moment intimate and fleeting. It's a whisper of romance in the city's endless hum, a personal invitation to feel love's quiet pulse amid the bustle.





The gif version:

It was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.



Let’s DIVE.
