Learning to draw in perspective is causing me so much mental pain 😩 Gotta build those skills tho 😤💪 #art #conceptart #sketchbook #illustration #WIP
I started a new (not-art) job around two months back, and in the meantime I've been really focused on grinding and improving my skills. The hope is to have a couple new portfolio pieces in time for Gen Con later this month! Here's a little preview. #art #WIP #conceptart #sketchbook
Quick practice before bed time. Trying out using the lasso fill tool to quickly create a silhouette before moving to lines. I'm liking the shift from focusing linearly to focusing on shape and form. #art #sketchbook
Morning practice featuring boxes, cylinders, and an unfinished sketch of a street. #art #sketchbook
Working on figuring out my lineart process. I find that using absurdly clean brushes is incredibly hard for me, and I prefer brushes with a little bit of texture, even if I end up cleaning up those lines in the end. #art #sketchbook #OC
Cleaned up some additional thumbnail explorations that I started yesterday. I'm really digging how quickly I can go from a small thumbnail to a full drawing. Super satisfying. Also using a big blocky brush is such a godsend #art #sketchbook #characterdesign #OC
Today's morning study was an interesting motorcycle design I discovered on Pinterest - 30 minutes. #art #sketchbook
Knocked out a couple more drawings from the silhouettes I did early this evening. I forgot how much faster I work with this workflow #art #sketchbook #characterdesign #illustration #OC
OKAY WTF I LOVE DRAWING. YA BOI STILL HAS IT #art #drawing #sketchbook #OC #characterdesign
I haven't been posting as often lately because I started a new part time job (not art focused, unfortunately) and I'm still trying to navigate my adjusted routine. Here's a lil excerpt of my sketchbook from this past week as I try to remain sharp. #art #sketchbook #illustration #OC
I ended yesterday with some quick studies using the lovely references from @trueref.bsky.social #art #sketchbook
Been in a funk. Trying to break the funk with some easy expression sketches while using a new pencil brush #art #sketchbook
Started cleaning up the lines/details and separating everything onto its own layer :))) #art #illustration #WIP #OCs
Trying something new and working on a much more complicated composition 😬 #art #sketchbook #WIP #illustration
Drawing muscular, sometimes angry, women? Sure why not #art #illustration #sketchbook #OC
Drawing my OCs as kids and honestly its helping me figure out their personalities #art #sketchbook #OC #illustration
Finally finished this piece of the Artemis II crew! #art #illustration #NASA #artemis
Making more progress on this piece. My originally hope to have this finished by today doesn't look possible 😅 #art #illustration #WIP #NASA #artemisII
Something I've been working on based on some important world events :))) #art #illustration #artemisII #WIP
