Sketchbook Update

Uh-oh, I’m a day late! Oops… but I do have a good reason though! I’ll explain that in a sec. For now, UPDATES! “Old Typewriter,” “Steps in the Woods,” and “(Non) Boxing Sharks on a Bicycle for Two” are all my favorite speed paints of the past week. I may develop “Old Typewriter” out of […]

This week’s artwork was a wee bit short on art expectations. I held back one speed paint from last week that I redid sporadically this week. It’s a reworking of an old spit paint I did about two months ago; I finished it, and I’m happy with the results, but I was also hoping to […]

I absolutely love how I was introduced to water-soluble color pencils. Thank you so much Sandy Hunter for this awesome gift. The past two weeks had been ripe with experimentation with speed paints.

I’ve been consistently doing DSP during my lunches, and it makes me feel absolutely like Atey Ghailan lol. Honestly though, I have been totally digging that I found this little niche of time during the day to develop my skills some more. If it weren’t for my lunchtime DSP shenanigans, I wouldn’t have been able […]

I finally finished the illustration I started last week. It was honestly supposed to be a speed paint… but after all is done I ended up clocking in seven hours. I spent as much time on it as my redo of “Nothing to Wear.” I honestly don’t like spending that much time in an illustration. […]
