Update

I have officially retired this blog after using it from 2014 to 2018. I now regularly use Instagram & Twitter to post art. This blog will be kept up as an archive of my work but I will not be actively using it.

If you'd like to keep up with my current work please follow me there. I also occasionally do commission work with more information here. For freelance work please contact me through my other social media.

Thank you sincerely to everyone who has taken an interest in my art, & especially to those who continue to follow me as I further develop as an artist.

Update

In wake of recent events, I’m not sure if I’ll keep updating this blog from here on out. I had already been tossing up between continuing this blog or not for quite a while but now I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.

Time will tell if I do end up returning or not, but in the meantime I’d appreciate if you follow me on my other social media!

[aidanovar]

did a TON of concepting for a nervous composer character for a rapid animation project not long ago! just finished it recently so here’s all of pro-production’s concept work!

a quick recent sketch of my first oc, the protag of my book! the entire book is him making poor life choices (like father like son)

[aidanovar]

normally how long does it take you to do a photo study? yours look so cool!

aw thank you!!! i really appreciate it! <3

it usually depends on what im doing a study of, but a quick one i try to aim for less than an hour while some of the more detailed/complicated ones might take 2 hours! i always think for studies its better to learn by doing and not worry too much about the end result so much, so working fast is usually my aim!

some more photo studies! these ones were done using google street view to find random locations (first was germany, second was sweden)

[aidanovar]

I just wanted to write a little thank you to everyone who reblogs, likes and comments on my work! I read every comment and it never fails to make my day!

A lot of the time I feel quite unmotivated to make art or too much of a perfectionist to post anything so I really, really appreciate all your support so much since it truly does give me that push to keep creating. So again, thank you all so much, I hope I can keep making more art for all of you guys this year! <3
