The final days of summer currently I am just doing iPad sketches every couple of days. Last week I backed up my 2018 iPad sketches it’s over 120+ files with a couple months left in the year, this years sketchbook looks like it’s going to be massive.

Not doing very much drawings the last two weeks. It’s the height of summer so by the time I get home mostly small drawings. I did spend most of my time chipping away at this month’s character design challenge topic – a character from the baroque period.
I have been trying out Procreate 4.1. I really like the time-lapse feature it’s fun while messing around with Adobe Spark.

Still having way to much fun with the #drawthisinyourstyle challenge. I had a couple more since my last post. It’s so much fun to interpret someones drawing into my own. Especially the type of characters that are truly quite original.
I also had to get in on the She-Ra fanart that’s been going around on my feed. It’s awesome to see the illustration community come together to support one another always.

The last week a fun art challenge popped up called #drawthisinyourstyle. A number of my favorite illustrators posted their work with the challenge for everyone else to re-draw it in your personal style. I collected a couple of my favorite post and picked up the challenge. I am sure I will have a couple more in the next couple of weeks. It’s been fun interpreting the various character designs into my own style.
Of course I had to keep the monthly Character Design Challenge going. The topic was African Warrior.

It’s my favorite time of the year, I have been on the road just putting miles on the bike and taking stops to sketch. For the month of May I managed to do something for Mermay, a couple of NBA illustrations and of course one for the monthly character design challenge. Some days I want to do thick inker lines and the next day loose pencil styled designs. It’s still hard to decide what “style” I actually am.

I got around to uploading a couple of older illustrations that I did last month. On May the fourth aka Star Wars day I did a quick Luke illustration. One of my fav. music videos in quite sometime is Childish Gambino’s – This is America the afternoon after watching it I stayed up into the early AM to draw it. Besides that here are a couple of lunchtime pencil sketches in my work sketchbook.

Warm weather finally showed up I really want to do outdoor drawings debating on doing it digital or carrying a small book and pencils. These illustrations are from the last couple of weeks I am getting around to uploading them on my site.

Finishing up a couple of outside projects so I haven’t been filling up the sketch pile lately. At least with the last batch of snow storms I have been able to do some fun weekday AM model reference drawings.

I had a lot of fun with last months character design topic: Alice In Wonderland. I did a couple funky designs, went back and fleshed the two I liked the most out with color. Besides that always trying to get the right workflow out for larger scale designs.

Clip Studio on iPad has a pretty extensive brush set but I haven’t spent much time with their pencils. It’s very intuitive to use the pencils really have a rough look to them. I have been doing a few model studies to give a very natural media look to the illustrations.
Of course I did this months character design topic: motorcycle. The funny thing is all month I did a few rough sticky note character sketches and a few days before the deadline came up with a new concept and finished it all the same night.
