PROCESS VIDEO // gouache studies
Here’s the process video for the gouache studies I posted yesterday! For some reason it didn’t film the process for the last face so it jumps straight to the finishing details, but hopefully that’s not too big of a problem.I love watching the effect of the paint dry during videos like this - y...
EARLY ACCESS // gouche studies
Here are some gouache studies I did before new year’s, but didn’t have the time to properly photograph until today! I bought a new tube of ‘opera pink’ winsor & newton gouache and wanted to try it. It blends wonderfully with reds and blues!Even though I still struggle with this medium, I jus...
UPDATE // goodbye, 2021
Is it really the last day of the year?? This year was honestly a blur and I'm having trouble believing it is almost over! Here's a little overview of how the last month has gone for me:BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!This month was so much busier than I had anticipated. A lot of stuff that was supposed to ...
TUTORIAL // drawing masculine faces
Hey lovely patrons! Have you recovered from the holidays yet? It’s time for this month’s tutorial, and it is about drawing masculine faces! I got a lot of requests for this one, and this is something I struggled with for a long time as someone who was more comfortable drawing feminine faces. Hop...
EARLY ACCESS // flower crown
Grabbed my fineliners and made an inked sketch! Lately I feel like I keep adding too much to my inked drawings and it’s hard to scale back from there, so for this one I tried to use a bit more restraint than I normally would. I like how it turned out, I think it worked to keep that mindset of bein...
EARLY ACCESS // heads
Some head studies! I’ve been trying to adjust my workflow a bit in order to maintain the spontaneity of my first sketch. Normally I do a very loose first sketch and then a more detailed skech on top, but for this workflow, I only made one sketch. I tried to make my first sketch a bit cleaner, and ...
EARLY ACCESS // foals
Things have been so busy with the book! So I was craving some comfort drawing. I decided to draw some baby donkeys. How cute are these little guys? I’m considering adding little wings to them haha.
EARLY ACCESS // book preview
Hey lovely patrons! I’ve been spending the last few weeks working intensively on the upcoming artbook. We’ve been working on the page layouts, which basically means that 3Dtotal sends over a draft of the book, and I put together detailed feedback and adjustments. They modify the draft and I cont...
PROCESS VIDEO // mushroom sketch
I filmed some snippets of my process for drawing the mushroom studies from my sketchbook. It isn’t the full process from beginning to end but just some parts of it. I figured it might be interesting to post nonetheless! Hope you enjoy!
PROCESS VIDEO // mushroom girl
Here’s the process video for my recent mushroom girl sketch! As always, you can speed it up or slow it down using the gear button in the player. If you get an error saying the video doesn’t exist (which unfortunately still happens from time to time), be sure to watch it in your browser instead! ...
EARLY ACCESS // ink sketches
I did a few inking sessions in my sketchbook! I’m frustrated with the faces on both of the characters so maybe I’ll paint over them in photoshop. We’ll see! Also filmed the process for some of these so I’ll try to put together a video soon. Hope you enjoy!
EARLY ACCESS // antlers
Happy December everyone! I finally finished painting a piece that I started working on in March! It went through a lot of iterations and changes over time. I would revisit it every couple of months and then make some changes to the idea until it finally became what it is now. I included some process...
UPDATE // winter is almost here!
It's the last day of November! I can't believe autumn is almost over. It flew by in a blur! Fortunately I did get some good forest walks and pumpkin spice lattes in to remember it by. Here's a little review of how this month has gone for me:KICKSTARTER ENDEDThe Kickstarter for my new art...

Here’s part 2 of the process for my Wet Asphalt study! You can find part 1 here. Again, it’s in real time and you can speed it up or slow it down using the gear button.For this part of the process, it was mainly about getting those details to a higher level. I alternate a lot between painting an...
PROCESS VIDEO // wet asphalt - part 1

EARLY ACCESS // osprey studies
Did some osprey studies! These birds are so majestic, especially when photographed up close. I wanted to capture those volumes and patterns in their feathers with these.
TUTORIAL // drawing environments in procreate
Time for this month’s tutorial: drawing environments in procreate! I’ve done an environments tutorial in the past, but it was focused on my workflow in photoshop. While it is possible to replicate that same workflow in procreate, I tend to take a different approach, mainly because I prefer to wo...
EARLY ACCESS // edmonton sunsets
My big sister lives in Edmonton, and she’s been seeing some beautiful sunsets there in the last weeks. She sent me some photos and I had to use them as reference for these quick speedpaints. My main focus was capturing that vivid, intense color! She recently sent over some gorgeous sunrise picture...
UPDATE // tutorial is almost done!
Hey lovely patrons! Just a quick update to let you know that this month’s tutorial is almost ready to be posted! It’s about drawing environments in procreate, and this is the artwork I created for it. I’m just waiting on the captions to come in and then I’ll be posting it early next week! So...
EARLY ACCESS // wet asphalt
I recently drove home after the rain had stopped and the road was still wet and reflecting the sunset as well as the stoplights. It was such a beautiful sight! I took a photo and made a study of that moment, to practice capturing reflections and also some perspective / buildings. You can see the ori...
PROCESS VIDEO // gibson girl sketches
Here’s the process video for my gibson girl sketches! It’s filmed vertically, because I feel like this orientation works better to film the page, which was vertical. I’d love to hear your opinions on this filming orientation: do you prefer widescreen or vertical video? Let me know what you thi...
EARLY ACCESS // gibson girl sketches
I’ve always been fascinated by Gibson girl artwork, especially the flowiness in the hair. So I decided to try drawing it in my own way, using a brush pen with a bit of a dry brush effect because it’s running out of ink. Here are the results! I filmed most of this process, and I’ll be posting t...

EARLY ACCESS // pumpkins
I finally finished this one! This is one of those paintings that I just loved doing from beginning to end, but I didn’t get to work on it as much as I liked because I was so swamped with other errands and tasks. Today I finally got to sit down and finish it up. Like most of the art I made in the l...
EARLY ACCESS // stylization studies
Here are some stylization studies I just did in procreate! The idea was to take a reference photo as a jumping off point to do two different treatments: one more angular, and one round and soft. I also included the reference image, which is from grafit studio.The process video for this one will be s...
UPDATE // october is over!
Another month has passed! Sadly I've managed to come down with the flu, which has ruined my halloween plans, but at least I got to spend lots of time chilling on the couch with tea. Here's a little review of how this month went for me:KICKSTARTER LAUNCHThe kickstarter went live on the 11th a...
EARLY ACCESS // updated DTIYS
Hey lovely patrons! Just a heads up to let you know that I plan to launch this DTIYS on Monday (November 1st). I made some minor changes since the last time I posted this here, mostly to the face, and this will be the final image! I just wanted to share it with you all in case anyone wanted to make ...
EARLY ACCESS // autumn forest
Earlier this month, I sat down to create an autumn-themed painting, but I wasn’t happy with where it was going. It just felt too empty to me, and more like a random study than a proper painting. I ended up ditching it and drawing this image instead!A few days ago, I revisited this study and tried ...
