Eri Shades

  I'm Eri! I'm a young artist with a dream to create something memorable. Comics. Creatures. Coffee. Games.

I started Maro's shapeshifted design over a year ago while looking at some adorable Fennac Foxes. I gave a proud tuff, pointed floppy ears, and scales to tie back his reptilian aspects. It wasn't until the #pokemongo explosion of awesomeness that I realized eevee and him bear some resemblance. I wonder if the creators of pokemon were looking at those fixes too for its design. Either way the thought of them together is cute! #eevee #ocs #digitalart #furbaby #erishades #glow #pokemon #newartist

Remember Maro? I'm #streaming his character design tonight. Spoiler alert... He's not just a cute furry animal. Link in the description. #shapeshifting #webcomic #erishades #digitalart #manga

There's something about the moment before adding shading and color to a piece that is so satisfying. Yas! #originalcharacter #linework #✒ #erishades #mangagirl #animegirl

Even though my arm is healing slowly I'm falling back into the rhythm of drawing everyday. One step at a time... #sketchbook #wip #originalcharacter #erishades #penandpaper

If you ever want to look at some beautiful artwork and read a good webcomic check out Kings Folly. This is a little fan art I did for one of the characters in the comic. He’s the cutest!  https://tapastic.com/series/Kings-Folly

A few off my favorite things. The #tombowmonozero is one of my must haves. Like any artist (maybe even more than any artist) i make mistakes. This eraser allows me to keep my progress on a piece flawlessly. Its also a tiny mechanical tip so i get a lot of control and no smudge! 🙌 #copicmultiliner. #copicmarkers #copicsketch #tombowmonozero

If you didn't know green is one of my favorite colors. The green of new growth, tiny little sprigs of soft velvet leaves. Starting the rough draft of a few #comic panels feels like new growth. I'm excited to start growing into this story! #newgrowth #nashvilleartist #blankpage #sketchbook

Here's a character from my webcomic in the works. Don't worry he's as awkward as you are.... #originalcharacter #digitalart #comic #characterdesign #awkwardintroductions

Working full-time and pursuing art on the side can keep you chained to your desk scattered with pencils and brushes. Sometimes a change of scenery is needed. I'm just lucky the park down the road has some quiet places for a #comicnerd to sit and sketch characters. Where is your favorite place to escape to? #artlyfe #artist #nashvilleartist #characterdesign
