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. If I can’t hack my speed paint before going in to work, then at least I can whip one out during lunch […]

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. […]

I hope everyone is doing ok especially during this crazy time of quarantine. I’m not sure how everyone is surviving, especially the low wage workers. A lot of their jobs couldn’t be done from home, so I’m really curious about what kind of aid and stipends they will receive. Needless to say, I hope everyone […]

I did sporadic work for the Daily Spitpaint group this week. I did a few in my traditional sketchbook, but I was only able to do one or two digitally. In terms of art output, it was low this week. I was able to do a three-hour speed paint for Sketchzone though; It’s a fan […]

I made progress in my two illustrations that I’m slowly grinding on. “The Guardian” is giving me trouble; Even though I cleaned up the background tremendously, it still looks too busy, unfortunately. Part of me feels I really need to simplify the background more, but I don’t want to have to go back to the […]
