Urban Burn
Trying out some new color pallets and a simplistic style.
I feel like I haven’t been posting the best content, but I can promise that next week I’ll post some really cool shit I’ve been working on.
Daily Sketches
I sketch a lot at work and mostly work in ink. When I was younger I worked in pencil and disliked the feeling of pens. I still do like pencils more, but I do love how simple and unapologetic ink is.
Ocean Dust
Daily Sketch. For a while I was on the mermaid train like everyone else. I really want to draw some fresh water mermaids in the future.

Happy New Year! Thanks for following me <3
Rebel
I made a short comic based on the Poem “Rebel” by Bei Dao. You can learn more about him and read his poems at https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/bei-dao
This project was suppose to just be a chance for me to record my work times and practice some different coloring skills, but it turned into a project I’m really proud of. Rarely do I finish an art piece and feel, yeah that’s what I had envision.
Frozen Lands
A couple weeks ago I went on a little vacation with my family to this wonderful winter land. Crossed the mountains from Fall and jumped into winter.
Unfortunately these pictures don’t do it justice. I would describe it like hiking in Skyrim.
Haze
This piece helped push me to make a finished piece and work past the rough/sketchy stage. It’s something I struggle to do.
I always love seeing an artist process, though I wish I documented it better.
First the sketch, usually I’ll clean it up more but I didn’t realize I was going to make this into a project lol. Thought it would be just a daily color study.
Next the colors. I’m really focusing more on value here then exactly color choices.
And here’s the big jump from a rough to an almost completed painting. Here is where I finally got some reference to correct the lighting.
And now I start figuring out a more interesting background.
Having changed the background now I need to clean up parts of the painting (mostly with the lighting). Here’s where I really cleaned up the face and changed the palette to be warmer. oh look, she’s no longer a floating head.
And then I added just a couple of adjustments and warmed the palette again.

I want to thank all of you who helped support the projected by either donating a $1 to buying your own hard copy. It’s really exciting to have the comic I worked on published and I couldn’t have done it with out your guys help. 🙂
