Artwork - #1 | By Eshika

The following 8 pieces of art has been done by Eshika. Have a look at them. This young aspiring artist has demonstrated her inner talent and creativity in herself. From drawing abstract images of auroras and galaxies to sketching the famous and dearly loved Marvel characters like Dr. Strange she has done it with a lot of enthusiasm.  Her silver dragon is also a good piece of artwork carefully done on a black background. Who can resist a weekend with Moana on the T.V and you on the couch laying down in a vacant manner. The Joker is also another beautiful piece ( sarcastically ) because it depicts the qualities of the character itself.  Aurora  Credits ~Eshika The Silver Dragon Doctor Strange Teddy Bear The Joker Silver Fox Credits ~ Eshika  Moana  Judy Hops Credits ~ Eshika
