Donovan's Sketch Blog

I'm a 3D VFX artist by profession. This is the place I put all my 2D practice sketches and the occasional 3D project. Check out #portfolio for some of my favorite pieces.

Another virtual drawing session. This was one of our regular in-person models. Good to see a familiar face.

One of the first virtual life drawing sessions with the usual gang. Fun times as usual. More to come soon.
