Sometimes you make bad drawings and that's ok! Here I talk a bit about how this uuugly drawing of mine was the stepping stone to get to my final concept. Sometimes you gotta make bad art to push yourself to try again!

Bought a sketchbook while in Australia and sketched some people in Sydney over the last couple days. The hood and the bad, here’s what it looks like to sketch for the first time in a month! Catching a plane back to Canada, thnks for your support while I’ve been on holiday! Excited to getting back to it and creating art for you!

Some of the caricatures I made this month for caricature resolution. I don’t know if I’ll continue or even get to all of them, it’s overwhelming seeing all the really great caricatures on Instagram that I almost give up before I even start. It’s one thing not to compare yourself to others when you’re all creating different artwork, but when everyone is creating the same subject, it’...

Hi all! I want to thank you all for your support on my Patreon, I appreciate you all! After a lot of thinking, I've decided to make a change to my tutorials on my Patreon. As of now, you can access every tutorial I've made through my lowest Patreon tier. As of January 2024, some tutorials will be removed and you can purchase these individual tutorials through the new SHOP on my Patreon (kind of...

Today I wanted to share this piece that I hate. It's important to understand what you don't like about a piece to learn from mistakes and create better art in the future.

spent the day making studies of lord of the rings! focused mainly on getting colours accurate with focus on textures. understanding where to use a hard edge and soft edge is a very important skill to learn and i feel like i'm improving a lot already. also this is like my first layout study in... forever? ever maybe? i'm always scared of backgrounds but this is a good first step to getting more ...

spent the entire day working on studies from films focusing on colour. i limited myself to 30 min per study but these two last ones took a bit longer. i hope to get more confident doing studies soon! i think i'll make a youtube video about studies... what do you think?

another study! this time i focused on a different type of reference image, a photoshoot pose. i wanted to capture the lighting of the studio in under an hour.

It's been a few years since I made a comprehensive guide explaining which procreate brushes I use and how I apply them. So here's a handy little info page on my procreate brushes. Remember, it's not the brush that makes a good artist and you don't need fancy brushes to make good art. (but new brushes are always fun!)
Brushes Mentioned:
rendering is such a balance.. i think i'm definitely overrending and get tunnel vision. i want to be able to add more texture. and i think my values are a bit too extreme. but I'm pretty happy with my first attempts at rending from imagination rather than following a study! learning lots!

Here's a short breakdown of my most recent study using Max Grecke's artwork as reference for rendering and lighting.

Today I started the Grim Reaper prompt from the October challenge that I posted on my discord. I used references from the amazing Max Grecke as inspiration for the rendering. But as I started rendering I noticed how horrible this drawing was coming together. I would think I must trust the process and kept going but the anatomy of my base drawing was not strong, I did not block out the colours â...
