EARLY ACCESS // tree sketches
March has flown by! It's time for me to participate in the monthly challenge for flame members🔥This month we made some tree studies together! This is my take on the challenge. I tried to focus on using expressive and stylized shapes, and it was a lot of fun. I feel like one of these is inspir...
EARLY ACCESS // elderly heads
I sat down to finalize the heads that I drew during last week’s live drawing session! Turned out that darkening the background was the key to making these sketches work. It’s always surprising how little tweaks like that can totally change the vibe of a drawing! I’m really happy with how these...
EARLY ACCESS // sketch sesshion
It was time for my monthly sketch session, so I sat down to draw something I don’t often draw: motorcycles! I found out that I can't really draw circles, HAHA. What a disaster! I need to practice my basic shapes!I wanted a bit of a grungy race track aesthetic for these. Might add some color to...

PROCESS VIDEO // bathroom (again)
Hey Patrons! I know I posted the bathroom process video a few days ago, but here's another version of it. I usually film a few snippets of my process so that I can edit them into short reels for instagram, but for this one I ended up filming a lot more than I usually do. I figure it might be int...
PROCESS VIDEO // bathroom
Here’s the process for my bathroom painting! I figured this one would be interesting to share in order to show how I implemented the perspective grid into the painting. I just copy/pasted one from google and transform/warped it to fit the scene I wanted to make!Some info about this painting proces...

QUESTION // patreon video issues

EARLY ACCESS // bathroom
An interior sketch! I tried using a perspective grid for this one to build the sketch on top of, I feel like that worked pretty well here! Might use this technique more in the future when drawing interiors. I definitely want to keep making more cluttery, domestic type of scenes like this! Hope you l...

TUTORIAL // overlapping shapes & foreshortening
It’s time for this month’s tutorial! Some of you requested a tutorial on perspective. I am not experienced enough to give tips on two-point perspective or other types that are used for buildings or cityscapes, but I can talk about creating some perspective and depth in character art. I do that b...

UPDATE // March is around the corner!

EARLY ACCESS // pose studies
I sat down and finalized the anatomy sketches I started on last week! I did a lot of cutting and pasting to exaggerate the anatomy a bit more, since I felt it was a bit too restrained and small. I wanted a more chunky angular look than I had initially set up. This is a perk of breaking up my process...

EARLY ACCESS // clouds
Some cloud studies! I always feel like my approach to clouds reflects my artistic confidence. When I’m feeling more unsure, the clouds I draw tend to turn out soft and formless. When I’m feeling more focused and confident, the shapes become more clear and have some exaggeration and gesture to th...

UDPATE // anniversary billing now available
Hey patrons! I've decided to turn on anniversary billing for this patreon page. That means that if you sign up today, you'll get billed again on the same day next month, instead of again on the 1st. This is a lot more intuitive and it avoids the issue of patrons getting double charged when t...
