Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a woman with stylized hair

Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a figure with a stylized owl headdress. The wings of the headdress cover the figure's eyes.

A graphite sketch of a a face surrounded by a sphere of churning, splashing water

A graphite sketch of a beared man with a sword plunging through his forehead and out his chin (in a stylized, non gory way).

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.

A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

a pencil sketch of a woman in profile, surrounded by running rabbits and flowing lines.

Psyching myself up to try to paint this with watercolors and gouache 😅

Progress shot for this watercolor and graphite piece I’m working on. I haven’t had to start over from scratch again yet, which is nice 😅

An anime-looking elf holding a crystal mace against her back, standing in front of some inner forest cast in light rays. The shoulder pads on her chest-only armor are very wide. You swear you watched the show at one point, despite it never existing.

Got bored. Realized I've never actually attempted that extremely specific 90s anime poster shading. Materialized an elf off the cover of some OVA you walked by at Blockbuster to shade.
