art dump #4 🚛 (Sticker Club coming soon?!?!)

_SPEC STICKERS!!? Holy cow...

• "What the heck is a Sticker Club??"
  My Sticker Club will be a tier here on Patreon. U will receive 3 (or more) totally epic and official stickers, hand-made by me, shipped to your door every single month. Each month will have different stickers and themes.

• "What kind of stickers?"
  Vinyl, die-cut stickers that are heat-resistant and waterproof.

• "How much will it cost to join?"
  Right now, I'm aiming for $12/mo! If all goes well, I'd love to send more than 3 stickers, and even include some sicker club exclusive designs and bonus stuff.

• "What do I do with _SPEC stickers?"
  Vandalize to ur heart's content- Slap em on your water bottle, sketchbooks, furniture, and even local infrastructure and federal buildings!

• "Sick! When can I join?"
  Within the next week or two! Keep an eye out for updates on my Patreon and Instagram.

 I'm super excited to finally take a shot at selling physical merch of my artwork. I hope you guys would enjoy it.

If there is any specific art you'd like to have as a sticker, let me know!!

In the meantime, stay posted for any news and updated of the drop 🤙

Anyways, onto the weekly art dump:

• I wrapped up some freelance work last week, and finally had some time to get into rendering this one.
  Lately, I've been trying to push the sense of lighting in my illustrations and I'm really happy with how it's been going. What helps is defining where and what color/intesity my light sources are, then trying to accurately paint how I think it'd fall on the various forms in proximity to it.

  Here are some (probably not all) lighting types that I've been using:
  
  -Key light: Defines the main form and direction of the subject.
  -Fill light: Softens shadows created by the key light.
  -Rim light: Highlights the subject's edges to separate it from the background.
  -Ambient light: Functions as a fill light, but rather the natural/existing light in an environment. Think of it as more passive and diffused. I'll typically use this instead of a fill light.
  

  

  • More Procreate sketching!

    

  • I used my chameleon sketch from last week as render practice. This one was a great challenge and got me thinking more like a sculptor than a painter in some ways 💯 

• Quick sketch of a gatorade bottle while we were out doing taxes haha

  

• Mordecai and Rigby!! Got started on flats, hopefully I can render and finish this by next week. I think it'd make a pretty cool wallpaper or sticker (!?)

   

That's all for this week guys 🫡 Stay posted for sticker club updates.
