The complete sketchbook page. Portrait exercises with gouache and water-soluble pencils/ neocolor II/ color pencils. I think just gouache with some very sharp color pencils for tiny and precise details is the way to go, according to my observations during these experiments. #art

Last one is gouache with some color pencils on top (polychromos and supracolors). With this, I've completed the whole page and learned a couple tricks that will come super handy for my professional works. #art

Next sketchbook exercise was gouache alone. What do you think so far? #art

Second sketchbook experiment of this series: gouache with neocolor II crayons. This one was a bit tricky! #art

More sketchbook fun! I'm experimenting with gouache and different mediums, trying to draw some conclusions for future professional work. For this one I uses gouache with water-soluble pencils. #art

Pen drawing that is mostly black and white focused on a humanoid figure with many different organic growths coming out of their back that contain eyes, while the upper part of their face is covered by a solid plate that has the skin of the lower part of the face connected to it by rivets. The rest of their body is covered by strange techno-organic growths and in the background is another figure reclining and holding their hands above their head into the arched walls that frame the scene. The surrounding area makes an oval portal like shape that filled with a yellowish hue and a number of orange ringed elongated eye like shapes with white centers with black filaments.

Pen drawing of a vaguely humanoid shape facing the user with a "face" made up of black void and stars crisscrossed by lightning. This "face" is surrounded by a body of metal that is rounded and organic in appearance with glowing orbs embedded in it while several thick tendrils made up a black material come out of its back by the shoulders and flow up out of view against the coffee coloured background. An arch of material behind it suggests a chair while devices off to the lower right suggest controls.

Pen drawing that fills the page with faces, some more realized than others and fleshy emerging from a twisted textured wall made up of small details with some that look like ancient metal, others of organic shapes and others bits and pieces of scrap that have been used together into a solid mass.

Pen drawing of a cosmic being with purplish-blue gems of various sizes arrayed as a face inside a large concentric oval headdress the flowing into a thin, 4 armed body that has a stone like, almost fossil texture. All around it are fragments of rock and large, cosmic scale structures arcing around in the background with a blue, orange and purple sky.

Another digital exercise from a couple of years ago. I don't work professionally with digital mediums anymore but I still kind of miss digital art sometimes and so I do these kind of portrait sketches for fun. #digitalart

Hey there! It's been a while, but I've been busy with life and, meanwhile, painting and recording a little tribute to my favourite TV show of all time, 'Buffy, the Vampire Slayer'. This is watercolors and patience on nice 100% cotton paper. What do you think? Have you heard of this show?

Pen drawing of a blue and purple aurora filled sky with stars that flows into large faces with the shadows filled with black sky and stars, while the largest face on the right streams off into something that looks like bands of clouds. This flows into a series of twisted root like shapes of various organic textures with faces emerging from the patterns. Partially blending in are multi-eyed furry creatures laying, curled up with large fluffy tails in front of them. Decorated towers with figures on top while in the distance, while beings of light loom large in the lower right corner of the page set against a dirty brownish/yellow hazy sky.

Pen drawing of a twisted technologyscape that fills the entire background, but starts to flow into root and fleshy organic shapes towards the bottom of the page. Dominating this scene is a feminine figure in a squatting position whose lower torso, legs and hands also flow into the organic shapes. Her chest is bound by an iron bar with large rivets while her head is covered by a metallic globe with a singular eye in the center while metal tentacles emerge from her back. The enormous scale of her form is illustrated by silhouetted forms in the foreground along with various technological devices and wires

Pen drawing with a number of organic shapes and elements of body parts radiating out from a stylized stone or bone looking eye of Ra. The overall effect is like a carved relief in black and white ink with faces peering out above and below the eye while there are branches, stone and vine like structures flowing around the eye.

Pen drawing with the main element being a serpentine figure with vaguely feminine human features and a spiral shell like structure on the head, leaning from the right with large black eyes and a body covered with various bony growths like armor down it's back, kneeling on an uneven stone floor. One arm with a couple of large claws is slightly pointed at another figure is visible just below a large obsidian stylized skull pendant. The other figure is standing, holding a flowing robe at the waist, but has a smooth stone face but is otherwise human. In the background, lounging on the ground or on a pillar amount he strange organic shapes while in the background are stone structures that appear to be a temple like complex with a large circular structure that looks to be plugged into the large stylized skulls below it.
