Noodled on this one for two “warmups” and went a bit further than I usually bother with lately. It’s a mishmash of stuff I find beautiful - midnight gardens, Victorian ladies, big cats, flowers, and Luna moths. #painting #illustration #characterdesign #visdev #lunamoth #victorian #garden #digitalpainting (at Dreamworks Central) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSNfVYnaAB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l2iys8ty4ecq

Posted a partial video of this #mermaid #gesturedrawing session last week. Here’s some of my fav #sketches, mostly 2-3 mins each. Done in #Procreate. #mermay #drawing #characterdesign #figuredrawing

I did another painting over the long weekend!! On Sunday we had an awesome time at Huntington Gardens, celebrating Lunar New Year. Did this #pleinair in the #japanesegarden. #huntingtongardens #gouache #painting #process (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens)

I WENT PAINTING!! Between full time job, freelance, and a baby, it’s hard to find the time. Luckily I had my paints with me today as I drove past Griffith Park to pick up a high chair off Craigslist in Beverly Hills. Love this little path, and painted this exact scene a while back with @adam_rosette. Fun to try it again!! #pleinair #painting #gouache #landscape #griffithpark (at Griffith Park)

A quick portrait of Alexandra David-Néel, a fearless French opera singer/traveller/spiritualist and writer who became the first European woman to visit forbidden Tibet... #opera #drawing #portrait #vintage #charcoal #butnotreallyitsphotoshop

Some 30 sec and 1 min #gesturedrawing from yesterday! Loving the @bodiesinmotion.photo library!

Not sick of these park walkarounds yet!! The old Pooh was so good, I love the honeypot on his head! #disney #disneyland #vintage #walkaround #pooh #tigger #eeyore #sketch

More park walkaround doodles. These are just 10 min warmups, but also worth studying in terms of shape and proportion. #disney #disneyland #cinderella #gusgus #sketch

[flimflammeryart]

More fun with those vintage park walkarounds!! Would have loved to get a pic with these guys. #disney #disneyland #walkaround #alice #marchhare #madhatter

Best 9 from 2017! It was a crazy year and hoping 2018 involves a lot more new art!!

Did I got to a holiday party where #pleinair painting was part of the agenda? Yes, I did. Done super fast as the sun was setting!! Thx @zacretz @kevinturcotteart @yori_anego!
