Comission I did for a local public school. These were fun to paint.

Made this bust to practice ruffles.

Just squattin’. I’m real proud of this one.

I was practicing sitting gestures and I liked this one so I developed it more. Basic coloring nothing too fancy lol. Turned out pretty cool.

I drew this for my best friend’s birthday. She absolutely LOVES Sailor Moon. It was fun to make. I used a new coloring technique and liked how it turned out. There is a process picture of this on my sketchblog.

Praise the Sun!!! The “Souls Series” is one of my favorite franchises. I wanted to pay a cute tribute to my favorite undead warrior, Solaire of Astora.

Practiced drawing exteriors and interiors in multiple angles using my old cabin as a reference.

I’ve known about JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure and it’s basic plot(s) for years but never got into it. So I started the OG 1993 OVA just to see if I would like it. I only saw episode 1....this is going to be a bumpy ride.

Just a simple sketch. I used a random palette generator for some colors to give it pop! I think I might do more of these for warm ups.

BLACK MAGIC: A zine about black girls in fantasy is a charity zine dedicated to showcasing and promoting black girls in the fantasy genre and is currently looking for black women and non binary artists to apply for submission from February 2nd to February 16th! ⭐ GOAL: The goal of BLACK MAGIC is to promote black girls* existing in the fantasy genre and to give black women and non binary artists exposure and recognition for their work.

⭐ THEME: BLACK MAGIC is all about all things fantasy and mythological! Black girls (and other POC) as mermaids, witches, werewolves, vampires, goddesses, princesses, knights, magical girls, etc! You name it, we want it! We only ask that submissions avoid treading into Sci-Fi territory as that may be a theme for a later project. 

⭐ CHARITY: All proceeds for this zine, after printing & shipping costs, will be going to the United Way of Genesee County to contribute to the Flint Water Fund (FWF). 100% of the money donated to the FWF goes to buying filters and bottled water for Flint residents, as well as other emergency support services and prevention efforts. Their website is here and more information about the Flint Water Fund can be found here. 

⭐ SUBMISSIONS DATES: The application period will close on February 16th at 11:59 EST. We will ONLY email accepted artists by the following week (no later than February 24th). We are aiming for the art deadline to be March 25th so please make sure you have the time to get your submission done by then. 

⭐ HOW TO APPLY: If you are interested in applying, please fill out this short form here. We will need your preferred name/ online handle, your email (for contacting purposes), a link to your portfolio or anywhere you have examples of your art, and a small description of any ideas you have for your submission! 

⭐ QUESTIONS: Before messaging, please check out our blog’s FAQ. If you still have a question, you can message blackmagiczine on tumblr, or email [email protected] with the subject [QUESTION] *Though this zine’s focus will be on black girls, it is all inclusive. Including other POC characters and characters with different gender identities is absolutely acceptable in your submission. We only ask that each submission includes at least one black female identifying character and that the focus of your piece is on them. This zine is also 100% LGBT friendly. If you apply wanting to submit a comic about a black lesbian werewolf and her mermaid girlfriend then you’ve come to the right place.  Thank you for reading, and please share/reblog/retweet so we can get this out to everyone who might be interested! Thank you! Art by: Endlessart-ery

An Illustration I did to practice my watercolor technique. I used Koi Watercolors, India Ink, then used Manga Studio for the editing. Check out my process here.

A daily drawing I decided to color. See the process here.

Practicing some coloring techniques with new brushes I of for Manga Studio and Photoshop. The one on the left was done in MS and the the other in PS. I put the process up on my sketch blog.

This is my 2nd attempt at doing line-less work. Although I do prefer my lineart it never hurts to try out different techniques. I really like it!
