illustration + design
Sorry for the lack of post the nice weather and staying busy has kept me from posting more. Good news is I feel lately like my art block has cleared up. I need more time to actually finish concepts.

Super busy lately I need to get back to a more regular posting schedule. Otherwise post like these exist with 10+ illustrations from the last month all on one post.
Still having a blast with Procreate but my drawing time is still the fastest on paper but with digital it’s getting much better.
Lately it’s been a mix of Sketch Dailies late night illustrations and some personal for fun weekend stuff.

It’s been a minute since my last post. The change of seasons brought on a sinus infection which changed over to cold/flu fun stuff. Prior to all of that I upgraded to the large iPad Pro/with Apple Pencil.
It’s taken a little while to get a decent workflow going forward. I still prefer to do quick thumbnails on paper prior. I am a huge fan of Procreate/ MediBang Paint and Autodesk SketchBook. For now Procreate is my default drawing app mainly because I created a thick illustration brush that imitates how I like to ink on paper. Although with Autodesk SketchBook the pencil lines feel 1:1 with real paper.
I still have some process steps to figure out. Below are my Procreate sketches that I don’t think are completely embarrassingly bad. It will be fun to look at these months/years down the road.
Getting a bit busy for a moment. Working on some outside work hopefully I will show later down the road. In the meanwhile still trying to do a little something everyday or every other if time permits.

Trying to work on this phase of creating more original character work minus the Ash illustration. The Jake Parker video channel series has really inspired me to do more work that I can say is my own.

I have been busy the last two weeks so this post is a bit of a catch up. The reason for all the Avengers stuff is because my daily practice site Sketch Dailies did an all Avengers daily topic posting. Along with that a couple of reference sketches.

I didn’t do a lot of sketches, busy work week. I did manage to zone out for a bit this weekend and fully recover from this nagging cold and do some just because sketches. After a quick marathon session of Steven Universe I definitely felt inspired to do some characters from the show. The others are nightly sketches that I try to do on a consistent pattern for Sketch Dailies.
Trying out some different angles

Some of the stuff I drew last week. Working on some animal concepts for an illustration project, listened to Kanye’s “Wolves” on repeat numerous times and a little sketch to commemorate the Johnny Karate episode of Parks and Rec. it was soooooooo good.
