Cowgirls | WIP

just getting out of a stump i've been having by forcing myself to start a project for an upcoming video. once i got started and liked my shapes i started to have a lot of fun! here's some WIP screenshots of base colour and sketch with a little sneak peek at the end of the rendering style!

Monarch | FULL PAINT PROCESS

Full process video in real time of how I painted this recent piece!

New sticker designs!

Since i got a table at lightbox, i've been spending time developing new stickers! Some are expansions of old designs, but I also made a new design! What do you think? Process vid anyone?

Anatomy of a study | PROCESS EXPLANATION

Hi Patrons! Here's a new type of process explanation video. Here I explain the thought process of my recent cowboy study. Let me know if you find these 5 minute process videos helpful and maybe I'll make this a monthly series!

Wip dump 3

Came back from the Calgary stampede and I have a new obsession.

Wips

Been drawing a lot lately. Here are some works in progress. These are all fun doodles- some take 15 min to complete, others, an hour or so.

TUTORIAL POLL & REQUESTS

Hi patrons! I need some feedback. I've been creating tutorial pages, but I'd like to know if you'd prefer my current approach, ~5 page tutorial + homework, or if you'd prefer a tutorial in 7~10 minute video format. OR I'd love to hear if there's another format you prefer!

I have difficulty creating monthly tutorials because often the subjects are BIG that...

Hi folks! Here's a long real-time screen recording of the process of a recent piece I made. Let me know if you like this type of content!

Wip dump

I’ve been making so much art lately I don’t even have time to post each individual wip or you’d get 8 notifications!

Life drawing study WIP // DISCORD EVENT

Spent some time today studying anatomy and dipping my toes back into figure drawing (even tho it's from still images don't @ me) because on June 30th my lovely moderators and I are hosting a life drawing event on the Discord! It's super low-key and just a space where we can chat and draw. I haven't done figure drawing in YEARS and I've only digitally life drew perhaps twice in ...

REMOVING PRINT TIER | ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello lovely Patrons! My new discord is a WHOPPING success and I'm really excited to continue to cultivate a really supportive art community. That being said, I've decided to make a change.

I'm removing the Print Tier. I loved my time for the past two (maybe three?) years making monthly prints. But the cost and effort don't add up anymore. Unfortunately, ...

Colour experiment //wip

This drawing went in every direction. Recorded the process here. Shall I post the full video here?

Wip

Double post! Some more process on this piece. Fun experiment

Wip

Got my hands on one of Loish’s art books and now I got the colour bug. Trying some new techniques.

VOTE - June's monthly print

Hi folks! Thanks for your patience as I still have to announce this month's patreon print. I was a little stuck and so I thought to take it to you to decide on this month's print. Vote away!

High fashion but make it fish // wip

couple wips from my latest drawings and youtube video. if you haven't checked out the discord yet, i highly reccommend! we're sharing art, and a LOT of references for art and art education that I never had a place to share before!lso

Merm cover // wip

here's a wip of a painting that i got commissioned to create a cover on! can you guess which magazine i'll be featured in?

New Discord!

Hi lovely Patrons! After hearing everyone's thoughts, I created a new discord server exclusively for patrons! If your discord server is connected to your Patreon, you will automatically be added to the server- if you're not, be sure to do so in order to join. In this server, you'll be able to share artwork, share references, chat with other artists, and be able to participate in my Youtube vide...

Portrait study // wip

I was super pumped after yesterdays successful drawing but this one was real rough, I don’t know why it just sucks. The blues were really hard to capture here. I feel like darker skin tones are easier to paint for me because the way the light and shadows hit it easier, but you can’t hide with lighter skin tones. Hopefully this didn’t bum me out so much where I’ll drop drawing for a few ...

Portrait study // wip

Do you remember what my portraits looked like last month? Incredible what a little elbow grease can do!! Left reference was from Pinterest to help guide me through the render.

Thinking about starting a Patreon Discord? // GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS!

Hi gang! I'm thinking of starting a discord for my patrons and me to create more of a learning and networking community. A place to share your homework from my tutorials, somewhere you can submit your art to be possibly reviewed in my youtube videos (right now, i'm experimenting with reviewing artwork in my #critiquemejackie hashtage on instagram, but i'd like ...

Caricaturing Faces for 1 Hour // PATREON EXCLUSIVE

Here's a long version of my youtube video that I'll be posting tomorrow. Please enjoy the extra drawings and the real-time footage! Watch out for an accompanying tutorial soon! :)

Sketching today

Some sketches from a sunny day at the park. These aren’t in order, but you can tell where I was warming up and where I felt like I was in a good place. Always fun to experiment with different shapes and push the types of people I see.

plein air process

finally having some time to make a plein air this month! i hope to make at least 5 to really start seeing if i'm improving. i cheated a bit by adding a character cause that's something in my comfort zone. maybe i'll continue adding characters tho cause i make my own rules

Full paint process // STUDY

*NEW* CRITIQUE TIER ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi lovely patrons!

I started this Patreon over 4 years ago when I was a much smaller artist with a lot less experience. Today, with over 660k followers across all platforms, my Patreon has also grown. That's why I have changed the price on my art critique tier and created new spots. It was unsustainable to continue my critiques at the price it was, and this will allow me to spend more tim...
