Concept art for one of my stories. Tried capturing the image of a “reptilian mammoth,” something big and menacing. Lord help me when I get to this level of detail in my comics 😭

Just finished reading House Explosion, loved it!! Can’t wait for your upcoming projects ✌️

My mini art studio, and finishing this piece at 3am. No better bliss than a late-night drawing session 😌

Portrait of a friend’s cat. This piece was a fun challenge as it was my first time using dip-pens. There’s no better feeling than having total control over your line weight and behavior, which is one reason I love making traditional art.

Agreed. Don’t know where I’d end up without art by my side 🤸‍♂️

Quick sketch of Ari, main character of my comic, to keep the creativity flowing.

A graphite portrait drawing of Shay Mitchell in three-quarter view. She is looking towards the viewer over her shoulder.

I drew this a couple of years ago, and I still quite like this one. It was drawn with graphite on Fabriano 1264 drawing paper.

More cat sketches for more practice :)

Illustration of two cats: a tuxedo cat on the right and a tabby cat on the left.

Cat studies for an upcoming piece. Never drew cats before, so this was an interesting piece. More practice to come!

Ambidexterity for the win 😤

Self portrait (face reveal?) that I spent all day making. This was a fun one to test what I’ve learned from my multiple portrait studies. The hair was the hardest part - so many micro strokes! But I like the overall outcome!

A man, shirtless and very muscular, roars to his right with his arms spread in rage.

Concept art for my upcoming comic. I wanted to capture a demonic look to this character, to showcase his combat ability and pure strength. Looking forward to starting this comic next week!

Taking up all the whiteboard real-estate at work with my doodles :)

Concept art - ethereal fowl. I need to start drawing more often, it feels like a part of me is missing when these art blocks come. I’ll force myself to draw every day and to post every other day to motivate myself 😤

Quick sketch, noticed I’m getting a bit rusty so I’ll need to draw more often. Might have to master the fundamentals now (a self-taught’s worst nightmare 😭)

Portrait of Melina, from the video game Elden Ring.

Melina portrait, without tattoo. This one took a while but I like the outcome! I learned how much more patience I need when drawing, as there were so many more details and touch ups I could’ve added. Nonetheless, the process was fun!

Some drawings I made after not being able to draw for a while.

Duck update heading into the weekend. #watercolor

Finished two more portrait studies, completing a full page’s worth of portraits! I learned a lot from making these, but my big takeaway is patience: take your time while drawing and studying the subject, or else your art might look rushed.

Girl from that one Adidas ad I kept seeing. Great for gesture practice!
