Noelle & Mimosa Commission

Monthly Doodles - January 2025

Didn't do the doodles as much as I would have liked to this month, but I have some new ideas.

Widowmaker's Collection [8k]

More high-resolution practice. Can you find all the tinies?

WIP - At the Foot of the Mountain

Playing around with shading. I know in most macro art you don't need that much detail to convey a sense of scale, but for some of my larger canvases, I want to be able to visually explore the "land...

Comic and Character Design (1/4)

I'm in the middle of creating an exciting, vampiric, building out-growth comic for a friend. I've spent a great deal of time educating myself how I'd like to draw cramped room scenes in forced ...

Lara Croft's Discovery

Doing some perspective practice again.
A reoccurring issue I have in my personal, forced perspective work is how to handle body proportions. Lately, I've been sticking with stylized but not exce...

Monthly Doodles - December 2024

I have a particular why I enjoy shading, but I regularly attempt "traditional" painting techniques to help me explore new methods and workflows for my own style. With my gradual shift to creating b...

Sketches - Autumn 2024

The second half of 2024 included many attempts to expand my art abilities into more traditional techniques. While I like line art inking (that I usually gave cel some shading for completeness), I f...

Daily Sketch Guantlet 2/5

Daily Sketch Gauntlet

Monthly Doodles - September 2024

It's been a busy month. My computer bricked, so I needed to work extra days to buy some new parts. After being away from the canvas, my hands don't feel as steady now. To amend this, I'll be doing ...

Monthly Doodles - August 2024

July and August were months of heavy cleaning and organization. I did burn out a little, though I've still been doing very rough sketches here and there.

Lately, I've felt dissatisfied with ...

"Psyche!" by Paramouth Pictures - Behind The Scenes

Big thank you to Paramouth Pictures, for bringing me on to help with the production of "Psyche!"

I challenged myself,...

Monthly Doodles - June 2024

There was a lot of focus in June to complete commissions, as well as pushing my shading and anatomy knowledge, which currently is not consistent enough for my taste.

I hope everyone had a...

(Art Studies) Paint Practice

Almost three years ago today, I started pushing myself harder to learn "better art". I've doodled around most of my life, but I never took art fundamentals seriously until the summer of 2021.

Monthly Doodles - May 2024

Some random sketches this month. I hope everyone had a good May!

Mei's Unexpected Dinner (Commission)

Experimented with some new texture techniques.

Harvest Season (Commission)

Worked a while on this one practicing giga scale, as well as reworking my digital art workflow and experiencing the... experience of hand-drawing cityscapes.

Kingdom Come

Stayed up late sketching. Rosalina could probably enforce her universe better if she stayed 50ft all the time, though she may not get invited to karting as often.

April WIPs

I've taken a lot of time our of April to try and learn to digitally paint. While I have a ways to go before I'm confident with it, I learned much in value (black and white) balancing, although colo...

Breaking Perspective

There are a handful a techniques I use to draft out perspective lines for rough drawings, but I'm trying to iterate some new ways of ploting out angles. There are still some pov's that I'm working ...

Luna Takeover

Commission

I've mostly done cel shading with a little soft shading, but I'm starting to experiment with a more painterly approach, at least for color.

Bedside Range

Commission for Dtrust4529

There's a lot I
