Thank you very much again for another month of support, here is this month's Q&A!

If you would like to send in a question for next month, feel free to leave it below in the comments!

Drizzle (Full-res + Process Steps)

Recently I've been trying out a lot of slightly more vibrant colors, with lots of studio lighting setups experimenting with all kinds of effects! With this piece I wanted to quickly revisit a more ...

Lake (2021//2018)

When I originally did this piece in 2018, I remember I just intended for it to be a quick paint kind of deal, so it ended up a little sloppier than expected. I saw it recently so I took a little ti...

Supper 🍝

This is actually quite a special piece as currently I'm working on a fairly large and comprehensive tutorial based on this artwork!  I would love to hear any questions you have (can be short o...

🔥 (Full-res Image + Process steps)

This was such an unexpectedly fun piece to draw! It started out with more of a mundane setting as I tried figuring out how to make things a bit more exciting, but it turns out fire was one effect I...

Bad Guys 1 (Full-res Upload)

Thank you guys so much for another month of support here! As promised, I will start putting up the full-res images of the entire Bad Guys series here on Patreon.

(No worries as this is not ...

GUWEIZ Patreon Series EP04

Thanks to everyone's excellent feedback and welcoming response to last month's real time lecture-style video, I felt comfortable doing one more to reinforce and show some direct applications of per...

Dark Room (Full-res + Process Steps)

Continuing the fancy venue setting from the recent works! It was a bit tough figuring out the backdrop for this piece, but in the end I found a simple wall (with fancy wallpaper) worked well enough...

🍷 (Full-res + Process Steps up soon!)

Started this piece with a pose in mind, but it turned out really challenging to try and create a proper setting to fit the character! Normally layering on more elements and details is a process I f...

Snow (Full-res + Process steps)

A quick dip back into a type of subject matter I haven't touched in a while! It's still fun to draw some non-contemporary costumes and it's a nice pause from the usual bad guys stuff. It's been a w...

Blossoms (2021//2018)

This was a very satisfying piece to remaster, I liked the pose very much, but always thought there was something a bit off with the hair and face. I think I managed to fix it up a bit here and adde...

Gold (Full-size + Process steps)

I had quite a lot of fun creating this piece ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/full-res-image-50485480 ) ...

🌌 (Full Res + Process Steps)

This piece was quite a challenge (lots of difficult works recently!) as I tried to figure out a way to incorporate a color scheme I'm personally not very familiar with. Mix that in with trying to c...

Red Leaves (2021//2017)

I really liked the semi-surreal feel of the deep red leaves in this 2017 piece, but always had an issue with the weird unidentified stone slope I put in for some reason. In this rework, I tried to ...

Patreon Video Series - EP03

In this month's video, I'm trying something a bit different with a real time format, talking and explaining in kind of a lecture-style video. I think perspective is a very good place to start with ...

🥀 (Full-res Image+ Process steps)

Usually I use a lot of perspective, lighting and composition tricks to draw my favorite poses and lighting setups, but this time I wanted to do a simpler kind of composition for a different type of...

Bad Guys 15 (Full-res)

Final versions are now available for download!

I'm working on this month's tutorial video right now; it's going to be a little bit different from the 2 previous ones as I'm trying out a rea...

Alley (Full-res + Process Steps)

It's been quite a while since I had to draw a proper full-scene that's generally well lit; it is actually surprisingly tough when a lot of the scene is in view and in focus. (and doesn't have the b...

Snowstorm (2021//2018)

I had quite a bit of fun (and it's also quite relaxing) remastering a piece from 2017 recently (https://...

Drizzle (High-Res + Process Steps)

Trying out a new angle of view that I think looks cool. It's also always fun to do some rain again. :)

Let me know of any feedback for the process steps (too long, too short,etc) as always,...

City (Process steps + Full-res)

Sometimes doing a comfort-zone composition can be deceivingly easy at first. Despite the relatively static and straightforward overall presentation (no complex layering of elements, difficult camer...

Lotus (2021//2017)

I came by this old work recently and spent a bit of time to repaint parts that looked a little off. It's a bit strange as your skills advance that old paintings can just look "wrong" in some areas,...

Rooftop (High-res + Process Steps)

Quite a tough piece when it came to drawing characters  and gesture in a close-up and dynamic perspective! Definitely need more experience and practice to get comfortable but I'm glad this pie...

Patreon Video Series - EP02

For this month's video, the focus is on the initial parts of the drawing process, from rough sketch, to full color draft ready for cleaning up. Hopefully this will be helpful as a lot of comments a...

March Q&A + Brush Share

This is a bonus/extra segment, the main tutorial video will be up tomorrow for all patrons! 

These are some answers I have to a couple of frequently asked questions, plu...

Morning (Full-size + Process)

I actually had some unexpected challenges during this process adding color to the image, a lot of elements in frame actually doesn't have much local color so I had to deal with a very grey looking ...
